My Story
 
In 1997, I relocated to North Carolina from Connecticut and Rhode Island with
my husband, Russell, and our three children (2 boys and a girl). We lived in Mooresville for
a short time and in Cool Spring for ten years. Our youngest son
was officially born a North Carolinian Iredellite. In 2008, we moved near the Downtown Statesville Historic District.  Our four children, now ages 19, 18, 16,
and 14, enjoy Iredell County and
I say we have been "permanently transplanted." We also have four adopted cats, mostly from the ICAC Shelter where my children like to volunteer.

Since 2006, I have been privileged to work in our great district, starting as an EC Teacher Assistant at SIHS in an OCS classroom.  The next year I was asked to fill a position as Resource/Inclusion Teacher (interim) for 9-12th grade students at SIHS.  After a short family medical leave from East Elementary, I returned as
an EC Teacher Assistant at WIMS for the remainder of 2008 and all of 2008-2009.  Following this, I experienced an exciting year of learning and growth when
I was blessed to serve as the 2nd-5th grade Resource/Inclusion Teacher at Union Grove Elementary.  For 2010-2011, my position at UGE was downsized and I was moved to Statesville Middle School as the 6th/8th grade Inclusion/Resource Teacher and continued into 2012 at SMS as the EC Teacher for 7th grade Resource/Inclusion classrooms.  Last year, I moved to a split position at North Iredell Middle/North Iredell High in the Low Incidence classrooms.
 
This year, I have returned to WIMS as an EC Teacher Assistant in the Low Incidence classroom with Mrs. Lindenberger.  We have a great classroom team and a wonderful group of students who love learning!  This will be a great year as our Mustangs are together!

I am grateful to have been asked to work in various locations in our great schools of Iredell County and have worked with such wonderful students and staff!
