Welcome to First Grade!! I am so excited for the upcoming year. I am a 2004 graduate of the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. Before earning my degree, I worked as a teaching assistant/bus driver for many years. I have taught PreK, Kindergarten, and third grade. This is my fourth year teaching first grade and I know it will be a fabulous year. Teaching is my passion and calling and I can't imagine doing anything else! I have two daughters. One is 19 and is in college and the other one is 15 and attends West Lincoln High School. I love spending time with my family, reading, shopping, and hanging out with my friends. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns. I am more than happy to help!!  I am looking forward to a great year!!!
