This is my 8th year teaching math at North Lincoln High School. I am also the Varsity softball coach. I am originally from Lincolnton, NC. I graduated from East Lincoln High School in 2001. This is my 17th year of teaching overall, as I spent my first 9 years teaching in Raleigh, NC.  As long as I can remember I have always wanted to be a teacher, and I am thankful that I have been able to fulfill my dreams. I am also glad to be back in my hometown doing so. I went to NC State and graduated with a Bachelors Degree in Mathematics Education. I also have my Masters in Mathematics Education from NC State. In 2009 I completed my National Board Certification for Adolescents and Young Adulthood Mathematics, and renewed this certification again in 2019. I love the Braves, Colts, and NC State Wolfpack! I enjoy spending time with my husband, Neill, our son, Easton (7), and my twin daughters, McKinley and McKayden (3). My husband and I plan to visit all of the Major League baseball ballparks. We have currently visited 29 of the 30 MLB ballparks.
