I grew up in Richmond, Virginia, and moved to Hampstead, NC in 2001 where I went to Topsail High school.  In 2008 I went to Barton College where I played soccer for 4 years and graduated with a B.S. in Elementary Education.  I taught kindergarten in Craven County my first year of teaching.  After my first year of teaching, I transferred to Northwoods Elementary and taught kindergarten for three years. This is my third year at Dixon Elementary, but my sixth year teaching.  I am super excited to teach first grade this year!  I currently reside in Sneads Ferry with my husband, our 3 year old and 2 year old daughters, Layla & Lily, and 3 dogs, Lizzy, Ziggy & Tank.
