I have been teaching for 6 years in North Carolina. I have taught mostly 4th grade with the exception of half a year in 2nd grade and half a year in 3rd grade. I just recently had twins and am taking a leave of absence to focus on caring for them their first year!
I am very much student lead in my teaching style. I know my content and use that to help create engaging and interactive lessons for my students based on their likes, dislikes and ability. I believe students need realistic yet firm boundaries and expectations. Classroom management has always been an area I thrive in and take great pride in creating a wonderful classroom community/family.

I live in Eastern North Carolina, I have been married for almost 3 years and in August of 2022 we welcomed twins a boy named Finnegan and a girl named Tillie. We also have 2 cats named Wilmina and Berna. We are currently saving to purchase or build our own home. In my "free" time I enjoy crocheting, watching reality television, reading, and creating new products for TPT and Etsy. I also have a blog and Etsy store if you would like to check those out as well!
