About Me

This will be my second school year with Hickory Public Schools and my first year at Oakwood Elementary! This is my seventh year of teaching! Seeing the students connect and grow each year is a joy!

I have a Bachelors degree in Psychology from Elon University. I went back to school to get my Special Educators License in NC through Graduate courses online at the University of Phoenix! 

​

My husband, Danny, and I live in Newton with our son, Wyatt, and 5 pets! Wyatt, our son, is in the 7th grade this year, loves chess, archery, science, and wants to be a paleontologist/ youtuber! For our pets; we have a year old lab mix named Bailey, 2 full grown adult cats; Oreo and Izzy; and 2 smaller 1 year old cats; Blackbeard and Pinky!  We love animals, gardening and being outdoors by the lake, pool or ocean!
