For the past 15 years I have lived in Western North Carolina. My husband and I have two children and one very sweet poodle mix. The 2016-2017 school year marks my eighth  year teaching at Enka Middle School and my eleventh year with Buncombe County Schools. When I am not teaching, I enjoy spending time with my family, reading, watching movies, traveling and cooking.

I believe that reading and writing are a human right, and every person should have the ability to access information through text and communicate through writing. Both reading and writing are critical skills, which are needed in every field. My hope is that every student will leave my class armed with the tools they need to be successful in high school and beyond.
