I am a first grade teacher here at Beulaville Elementary.  I live in Sarecta with my husband, Mitch and my son, Levi.  I have 2 cats, Angel and Tucker.  I have been teaching for 26 years.  I taught at Pink Hill School originally and then moved to Beulaville Elementary.  I have taught from PreK thru grade 5.  At this point in my career, I can honestly say I love all grade levels.  I have enjoyed my many experiences with various ages.  Right now, I love my first graders!

I attend church at Hallsville Presbyterian in Hallsville.  I teach Sunday School and sing in the choir at church.  I love all kinds of music.  Music makes me smile, so does ice cream!  I love going to the beach and being with my family.  My favorite color is yellow and my favorite food is probably pizza.

I graduated from East Duplin in 1990 and earned my BS degree in elementary education from East Carolina University in 1994.  I completed my National Board Certification in 2002 in the area of early childhood generalist.  I truly enjoy teaching and working at BES which is where I attended elementary school myself.
