Hello! I am so excited to begin my first year at D.R. Hill Middle School as an eighth grade special education teacher. This is going to be a great 31st year in education! My hometown is Burlington, North Carolina. My alma mater universities include Appalachian State University and Elon University. My hobbies include traveling, tubing, reading, home projects, and taking care of two cats and dogs. I have a soon to be high school junior who enjoys baseball and keeps me busy.
