I am excited to begin my 18th year at Eastern Elementary School and my 20th year of teaching. I am excited to be teaching 1st Grade again after teaching Reading Intervention and then Kindergarten. I grew up outside of Bath right here in Beaufort County. I attended Beaufort County Community College before transferring to the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, where I earned my Bachelor of Science degree in Elementary Education. I have a 17 year old son who is a senior this year! I enjoy watching all of our scholars learn and grow every year and I'm ready for a wonderful year!
