The 2023-2024 school year will be my third year of teaching STEM at Swansboro Middle School, but fourth year of teaching overall. Prior to teaching at SBMS, I taught a variety of technology, engineering, and robotics classes at a high school near Charlotte. I am from a small town near Charlotte called Stanfield, NC. I am looking forward to another year in a school and community that give me that close-knit feel that I am used to. I received my BS in Technology, Engineering, and Design Education with a minor in sociology from NC State University in 2020. I have always been excited about STEM and am looking forward to providing students with experiences to develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills that will help them in the future!
