All About Me!
Learning new things is a passion of mine and I am certain this will be a year full of learning and fun! I am looking forward to working with you and your child. I can’t wait to discover what the year has in store for all of us! In the meantime, I thought you might like to know a little about me.
I live in the Durham/Chapel Hill area. I have a daughter, Jessica, who is 29 and a stepson, Zach, who is 37. Zach lives in Charlotte and is a project manager with Banc of America, while Jessica, is an actress who currently lives in Rochester, NY. Both of my children are a big part of my life, so you will be hearing a lot about them! In addition to being a mom, I also like exercising, cooking, gardening and reading.
I grew up near Raleigh, in a small town called Pine Level. My parents still live in the house where I grew up! I have two sisters, Terry and Lori. Terry is an attorney and Lori is also a teacher.
I went to East Carolina University where I earned my bachelors degree. Years later, I attended the University of North Carolina for my graduate work (GO HEELS!). I also hold my National Board Certification.
This will be my 23rd year teaching young children. For most of my career, I taught first grade in Durham Public Schools. While here at Leesville, I have served as a reading interventionist and third grade teacher. I am so excited about teaching second grade this year. I will have the opportunity to work with a wonderful team and learn all about the second grade curriculum. I can’t wait to share my love for learning with you! Until then…
