I was born and raised in a small town in southern Virginia. I attended Old Dominion University in Norfolk, VA, where I earned both my Bachelor and Masters degree in Elementary Education. I met my husband, Chris, during my time at ODU. After college, we moved to Cary, NC where I taught at a year round school in Cary for 9 years. My husband's job took us to Maryland for 3 years where I taught in Severna Park, MD. During my time in Maryland, I became special education certified k-12. After 3 years, my husband's job brought us right back home to North Carolina! We currently live in Apex, NC, with our two children, Ryleigh and Connor, and our sweet dog, Molly. Ryleigh will be in fifth grade this year at OCE, while Connor is a rising third grader. We are all so excited to start another school year as Clippers! I can't wait to learn all about YOU this year too!
