I feel so blessed to say that I teach fourth grade at Sugar Loaf Elementary!  This is my 14th year of teaching, and I have taught grades 3-5 during my years (mostly 4th grade).  I attended UNC-Chapel Hill (2003-2006) and Lenoir-Rhyne University (2006-2007) for my Bachelor of Arts degree, and I received my Master's Degree from Appalachian State University in 2010.  I also have my National Board Teaching Certification.  My favorite thing about my job is the relationships I build with students and their families.  I try my best to make learning fun and meaningful, and I love the new challenges and opportunities that each new school year brings.

 

My husband Adam and I have two sons, Carson and Chase, and they are both Sugar Loaf students this year.  I love teaching, but in my free time I also enjoy traveling, gardening, shopping, and spending time outdoors with my family and our dogs.
