Experience:

I have been teaching for almost a decade.  I started working towards my teaching degree straight out of high school but life threw me curveballs and I zig-zagged my way to where I am now.  I taught Preschool for several years and once I started my Master's program I became a teacher's assistant to gain live experience that they can't teach you in a book. :) I am now on my way to starting my studies in my doctorate program and I am super excited to learn more on how to assistant our future. 

I started teaching our Exceptional Children around six years ago.  I originally gained my license in Tennessee, where I was able to experience the middle and high school settings. Since I moved to NC, I have made Overhills my home.  This will be my third year at Overhills! Go Jags! 

About Me: 

I moved to NC when my husband was stationed at Fort Bragg in 2020.  This was my first PCS experience, as my husband was previously stationed at Fort Campbell, which is where we met.  I was born, raised, and lived no more than forty-five minutes from my hometown in Clarksville, TN my entire life, until this move.  I enjoy spending time with my husband, three children, our golden retriever named Cheerio, and our pet hedgehog named Misses Bigglesworth.  I am a huge Disney fan and will often be seen discreetly wearing Disney characters. I love to read, hike, travel, and take naps whenever I find spare time.
