I have been teaching in Craven County for 15 years.  This is my 6 year at HJ where I teach 6th grade math and science.  In Craven County I have taught science and math at West Crave Middle where I was the girls golf coach, and Grover C. Fields Middle, where I taught 7th grade science.

I have high expectations for my students and myself.  I will give my all to ensure students succeed and expect everyone to do their part to reach their full potential.

In my spare time I enjoy riding horses and reading.  I also like to spend time with family and pets.  I love to laugh and make others laugh.
