After graduating from Appalachian State University, I began teaching in 2000.  I spent 13 1/2 years as a classroom teacher and have taught 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades.  As I was teaching I went back to school for a Master's degree in Elementary Education and then returned again for a Master's degree in Library Science so I could become a media specialist.  I became a media specialist in 2014 and love it!  I love working with elementary students, introducing them to awesome books, and helping them find information.  My years in education up until now have been served in Caldwell County, but I live here in Bethlehem so I'm very excited to now serve in this community.

My husband, Wesley, is also an educator and we have 9 year-old twin daughters.  We love to travel.  Spending time at the beach is awesome, but we also love exploring local places and visiting the NC Mountains for a day as often as we can.

Please get in touch if I can help!
