I graduated from Appalachian State University in 2012 with a B.S. in Appropriate Technology, and completed my teaching certification requirements through North Carolina New Schools in 2014.  This is my third year teaching science at The EMC-GTCC Jamestown.  I have a wonderful dog, who occasionally plays the role of our school mascot. 

In all seasons, when I am not working, I spend my time outside:  hiking, camping, backpacking, and stand-up paddle boarding on rivers.
