Welcome to my page! I have been teaching English Language Arts at Highland Middle School since 2019. I moved to NC in 2015, but before NC, I lived in Florida for 20 years. I am originally from Buffalo, NY, and I earned my Bachelor of Arts in English from SUNY Geneseo.  I have taught various grade levels in both NY and FL.  My husband and I got married in October 2021 and together we have four wonderful children, a grandson, a  Boston Terrier, named Yankee, and a new granddaughter on the way!  In addition to teaching, I love interior design and hiking.  In 2018 I hiked all 40 NC State Parks!
