This is my 18th year teaching Exceptional Children and my 4th year as a Swansboro Pirate. Go Pirates! I am excited to continue my career with such an awesome team. Over the years, I have taught grades 3-8, in both the resource and the inclusion settings. I currently teach 8th grade ELA and Math in the resource setting. 

I have two beautiful daughters, Brandi and Hailey, and two "grand pets", Cookie and Luna. I am originally from Raleigh, but have lived here in Hubert for 5 years. Most of my family is still in the Raleigh area, and I visit them as often as I can. 

I am passionate about teaching, and I love assisting my students reach their full potential. I feel blessed to be a part of the Pirate team and to have the opportunity to do something that I love every day.
