I was raised here in beautiful Swansboro, North Carolina from an early age. I attended Swansboro Elementary myself when I was younger and progressed on in Swansboro through high school. After high school, I started attending Coast Carolina Community College and graduated with an Associates degree. I then went on to attend UNCW's Watson School of Education where I graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Elementary education and a Minor in Psychology. I have been married to my wonderful husband for 2 years and we just had our first baby in June 2020. This will be my 10th year teaching at SBES! We love it here in Swansboro and plan on never leaving our home where most of our family and friends reside! This truly is a great place to be!
