I am a 1st grade teacher at Southwest Elementary.  I received my undergraduate degree in Elementary Education from High Point University.  I received a Master's Degree in Reading Education from UNC-G.  I am also National Board Certified.  I enjoy teaching and watching students learn and grow. Teaching students how to read and find a love of reading is my favorite thing about teaching. In my spare time I like to spend time with my family and travel to the beach.
