Welcome! I am excited to be a high school English teacher at my alma mater, West Henderson High School. After high school, I attended North Carolina State University and graduated from their Teaching Fellows Program with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Secondary English Education. Throughout my career, I have been blessed with the opportunity to teach English I, II, III, IV, and Journalism. Along with teaching, I have coached baseball, football, and been a sponsor of several academic clubs. I try my best to bring a passion and energy with me to my classroom each day because I love what I do and where I teach. Go Falcons!
