Hello!  I am originally from Matthews, North Carolina, and very excited to be teaching in the Arctic.  I am new to Alaska and a recent graduate of Western Carolina University....go Cats!  I have a bachelor's degree in elementary education and worked nearly 20 years teaching in early childhood education.  I look forward to teaching second and third grade at Davis Ramoth Memorial School.  I love to travel and some of my favorite hobbies include hiking and photography.
