About Me
2. Who Am I?
Student
I graduated from Pfeiffer University in 2005 with a B.S. in Biology
and Chemistry.
I am currently enrolled in the MA Ed. Program at East Carolina
University.
3. Who Am I?
Wife
I married my husband, Ryan, on July 22, 2003 in Negril
Jamaica.
4. Who Am I?
Mommy
On April 6, 2009 we were joined by our beautiful baby boy, Mason.
He is the most wonderful thing that has ever happened to me and I
love him with all of my heart!

Animal Lover
I am also currently the proud "pet parent" of two cats, Baby Mitsi

Teacher
I entered the teaching profession by lateral entry.
I have been teaching at South Stanly High School for seven
years.
7. Who Am I?
I consider myself to be a caring person, and I tend to wear my
heart on my sleeve. When I say I Love You - I MEAN IT!

I am also not too proud to admit that I am a bit of a nerd and
enjoy the occasional cornball humor.

9. Who Am I?
I LOVE teaching chemistry and I LOVE all of "my kids." They can
always make me smile no matter what kind of mood I'm in. I learn
just as much from them as they learn from me!
10. Where Am I From?
I live in Albemarle, NC.It is a very small town located about an
hour outside of Charlotte.
I love it here because we have the conveniences of a small city
close by but are still able to enjoy the peacefulness of a rural
community.

13. What I Love About Science
I have always had a natural curiosity about life.Science gives me
the answers to everything I could ever want to know about.
14. What I Love About Science
Science is always changing.You will never get bored because
something new is always being discovered and explored.
15. What I Love About Science
Things happen!Whether its an experiment taking place in a lab or a
real life encounter, there is always something exciting going
on.
16. What I Love About Teaching
I was always told that if you were doing what you loved then you
would never have to work a day in your life.I am happy to say that
:
I never have to go to work!
17. What I Love About Teaching
I get to share my love of chemistry with others and lots of times I
get to watch them fall in love with it too!
18. Important Issues to Me
Making sure that my students have the same opportunities that
students elsewhere have.
Because of budget cuts, we have lost many teaching positions in our
county.As a result, upper level science classes are being dissolved
and we have very little money for supplies.
19. Important Issues to Me
Getting students excited about science!
Because we are located in a very rural area students dont have
every day exposure to the exciting new things that are going on in
the world of science.
20. Important Issues to Me
I feel that the budget cuts have left many teachers feeling bitter
and unappreciated.I think that it is very important to have
teachers who are excited about what they are doing and who can make
that emotion contagious for their students.I hope that somehow we
will find a way to properly compensate educational professionals so
that we will continue to have quality teachers who love what they
do.
