I am exicited to be at HJ MacDonald and I am very excited about teaching 6th grade social studies. History has always been my favorite subject because it brings togehter all other common core subjects while at the same time teaching us about the past!!  My other passion is children and their sucess!! Working as a teacher allows me to help not only children but their famlies find finanical, emotional and social capital needed to acheive thier goals and dreams. The best part of my job is working in collaboration with children, famlies and community stakeholders.

I am a proud graduate of the UNC system holding a B.A in Poltical Science from NC A&T State University. I also have a Masters in Public Administration from Rutgers University Newark and Masters of Science in Human Behavioral Studies from Capella University. In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my husband and two daughters. I love reading and binge watching my favorite shows.
