The 2016-2017 school year is going great! I have very ambitious and rigorous ideas and projects planned for the students this year at Brinson Elementary.
I was raised in upstate New York. I have always known that I wanted to be an art teacher, ever since I was in the 9th grade. I was extremely inspired and motivated by my own high school art teacher and mentor, and wanted to one day inspire others the way that she inspired me. I attended SUNY College at Buffalo (Buffalo State College). There I obtained my Bachelors of Science Degree in the field of Art Education. After graduation, my first teaching position took me across the country to Phoenix, Arizona, and I lived there for four years. My husband and I were married and had our first daughter during our time in Arizona. We decided we wanted to raise our children closer to family and made our way to North Carolina. We had our second daughter in July of 2014. And are now expecting our son!
I absolutely love New Bern! It has all of the beautiful nature that reminds me of New York, the small town feel, and who can complain about the waterfront? The people here are so very friendly and at first sight, I knew we would enjoy many wonderful years here!
It was my talent and passion for art that lead me into the education field, but it is now my love for teaching that keeps me striving each day to be highly effective in my classroom. I am more invested than ever as my own daughter is a student here at Brinson in second grade. I look forward to a great school year.
