Welcome parents to Ms. Friesen's 5th Grade class at Brooks Global Studies.  I am excited to be a teacher at Brooks Global.  I am a Greensboro native, graduating from Grimsley High School.  I went on to earn my undergraduate degree from East Carolina University, and  my Masters of Arts degree from Gardner Webb University. I taught in Johnston and Wake Counties for 18 years, but I am so glad to be back in Greensboro.
