Welcome to Second Grade!!!  I graduated in 1997 from Western Carolina University with a B.S. Ed in Elementary Education.  I have been at Union Elementary School for 24 years.  I have been teaching for 26 years. Nineteen of those years have been in second grade.  I also taught third grade for 7 years before moving to second.

I am married to Kevin and we have two daughters.  Callie is a senior at WCU and Mckenna is also a senior at WLHS.  As a family, we enjoy traveling to new places, kayaking, and playing with our dog Hershey.  I like to read and plant flowers, when I get a chance.  I look forward to a wonderful year with my second grade children and families!
