I am a first grade teacher at Powell GT Magnet Elementary School in Raleigh, NC.  I moved to North Carolina from Macomb Twp., MI in 2008 and have been teaching here ever since.  I taught kindergarten for the first five years and just made the switch to first grade recently.  In my classroom I am constantly striving to instill a love of school and learning within my young students that will serve them well for years to come.  We love to laugh and have fun as we learn academically, socially, and emotionally.

Outside of school, I love to spend time with friends and family as much as possible.  Most of my family lives in Michigan, so I really enjoy flying back up north to see everyone whenever I'm able.  Here in North Carolina I'm lucky enough to have much milder weather that allows me to enjoy the outdoors for a longer period of time.  I love walking around Raleigh with my dachshund, Frankenstein and discovering new-to-me local places.  The Blue Ridge Mountains are close enough that a hike is never out of the question and the beach is nearby enough for a quick jaunt to the ocean.
