About Me:
My Personal Life:
I grew up in a suburb of Cleveland, Ohio called Strongsville. I have a sister, Angie, who lives in Cleveland still. She is 6 years older than I am. We are VERY different but we love each other as sisters do :). My parents just moved to St. George, Utah. They loved the desert out there so they packed up and moved on out. I, like them, wanted to get out of the cold state of Ohio so back in 2005 I moved to North Carolina. The beach and warm weather is what brought me down here! I fell in love with the coast when I was 13 (the first time I saw the ocean) and knew I needed to live by it. I moved to Wilmington to finish my education degree at UNCW. I really liked living in Wilmington, but I had a stronger love than the beach...teaching. So I moved up and over to Charlotte. When I moved here I met a ton of new people and made many new friends including my husband Tyler. We got married in 2015 and have loved every minute with each other! We are expecting our first baby, Norah, in August 2017 and are so excited to grow our family this year! We enjoy spending time with our two pups, Millie and Stella. We often take them to the dog park and around town. Hopefully we'll run into you! :) Tyler and I are also big movie buffs, we LOVE a good movie! Tyler was born and raised here in Charlotte so I am lucky that all of his family is here as we like to spend quality time with them. That's just a little about me!
My Teaching Life:
I moved to Charlotte in 2008 and began my dream of teaching. I taught 5th grade for two years at my first school in Charlotte. I wanted to see what it would be like to teach the younger grades, so I was given the opportunity to teach 2nd grade. When I left my first school, I was given the position as a 3rd grade teacher at a private school here in Charlotte. I worked there for a year and the school had to close down :( But that got me back into the CMS public school district where I feel more at home. I was given the chance to work with my favorite grade at River Gate Elementary where I spent 3 years teaching 5th grade. My husband and I moved out by McKee Road Elementary and I decided, after seeing what a great school it is, that this would be my new home school! Luckily for me, I was hired and have been with McKee since 2015. I love it here and wouldn't want to be anywhere else!
