Welcome to ESL! I’m excited to be working with 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students this year.
I’m originally from Raleigh, North Carolina. I earned a Bachelor’s in English and a minor in Psychology from the University of North Carolina Wilmington. After 4 years of teaching English in South Korea, Japan, and China, I attended North Carolina State University and earned a Master’s in Teaching English as a Second Language. Prior to teaching at East Cary Middle, I taught elementary school students from kindergarten through 5th grade at Highcroft Elementary School.
In my free time, I can be found reading, watching movies, or spending time with friends and family. I love to travel and learn about new cultures. My favorite place to visit is the beach. I also enjoy going to the mountains and hiking.
I believe all students are able to learn. As a teacher, I work hard to make sure that all students feel welcome and valued in my classroom. My goal is to provide a nurturing and positive learning environment for all students. I'm always looking for classroom volunteers and/or guest speakers for parents who are interested.
Feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns you have. Let's have a great year!
