About Me:
I was born and raised in New York until I was 14. My family then relocated to Durham, North Carolina, and I went to Jordan High School and graduated in 1991. I received my Bachelor’s Degree in Middle School Education in 1995 from UNC-CH and received my Master's Degree in Curriculum and Instruction from Scranton University (PA) in 2008. My husband, who is also a teacher, and I have three children, and we live in Creedmoor. I am a “jack-of-all-trades”- I have taught math, science, language arts, social studies, computers, exceptional children, and even PE over the last 15 years. I have taught in public, private and charter schools, so I have a world of experience to bring to Hawley Middle School, and I look forward to teaching your child science this year!
