Background Information
I am so excited for my sixth year teaching at Carpenter Elementary! Below is a little of my background both inside and outside of school.
I grew up in Swannanoa, NC a small town just outside of Asheville. The mountains of Western North Carolina are absolutely beautiful and I miss living there, but I also love the Triangle area! My undergraduate degree is from NC State University where I studied Elementary Education with a concentration in mathematics. In December 2015, I once again graduated from NC State with a Master's in Elementary Education and a focus in literacy. Needless to say, I am a huge NCSU Wolfpack fan!
For seven years, I taught just down in the road at Northwoods Elementary. There, I taught three years in first grade and four years in third grade. I LOVE teaching third grade, the curriculum and the age group is wonderful!
I have been married to my husband (Timothy) for 10 years. We have the most beautiful 7 year old daughter (Laurel) and a very active 4 year old son (Adam). Laurel also attends Carpenter, so I'm sure your child will see her around. Both of our children keep us on our toes and fill our time with chatter and play.
I'm looking forward to getting to know the families at Carpenter and the year ahead!
