I am delighted to be starting my 7th year at Highland Elementary! I earned a bachelorś degree in Business Marketing from UNC in 2004.  In 2013, I earned a Masterś Degree from UNC in Elementary Education.  This year, I will be teaching fifth grade writing using the ECAW (Every Child A Writer) curriculum. In addition, I will also be teaching science and social studies lessons to my homeroom class.  I look forward to making learning exciting for your children while preparing them for success as a 21st century learner.  

When I am not at school, I am busy on our farm in the Windsor/Timnath area.  I live there with my husband Bill, and our two sons: Ryan, age 15 and Bradlee, age 13.  I enjoy shopping, reading, fishing, camping, and spending time with my family in my spare time.
