Hi! Welcome to my sixth grade Language Arts class! I am so excited for this school year. I started working in Buncombe County Schools in 1998. I am proud to be a National Board Certified Teacher in English Language Arts for Early Adolescence.
I grew up in Worthington, Ohio and graduated with a bachelor's degree in English from Ohio Northern University. Wanting a little adventure, I moved to Alaska, where I worked as a personnel director for a fish processing company. Later, I earned a Master of Arts in Teaching degree from the University of Alaska Southeast in Juneau. My first teaching job was in an Eskimo Village near the Bering Sea!
My husband and I have two daughters in Asheville City Schools, and when I'm not at Cane Creek, you can find me chasing them around the soccer fields.
