Welcome!
Northern has been my teacher home since it opened in 2007, and the honor of receiving the 2012-2013 Northern Teacher of the Year was given to me. I have a BS in Education from SUNY Oswego, a BA in Writing from Eckerd College in St. Petersburg, FL, and an MFA in Writing from UNCG. I recently earned an MPA from NC State University. I am also a National Board Certified teacher. Along with high school teaching experience, I have taught composition and literature courses at UNCG as well as composition at NC A&T. I have written copy for ads, articles for magazines, and published creative work in literary journals.
If you have any questions, please contact me at mooneya2@gcsnc.com or call me at 336-643-8449.
