This is my 17th year teaching at FVMS. I was honored to be named the FVMS Teacher of the Year for 2016-2017. Prior to teaching, I was an Ichthyology (Fish) Research Assistant with the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences. I am a graduate of NC State University <Go Pack!>. Originally from the NC mountains, have been married for 16 years, and I have two wonderful children. Mason is 15 and Sadie is 11. In my spare time I enjoy reading, sewing and quilting. I follow ACC and Fuquay sports. I also cheer for the Athens Drive High School football team because they have an awesome head coach (my brother).
