4th Grade Teacher
I began my career in education at Coats Elementary in 2013. This will be my 13th year teaching fourth grade at Coats! Outside of school, I enjoy reading, cooking, gardening, and spending time with my family. My husband, Derek and I live in Dunn with our sons Ryan and Jack. My inspiration to teach comes from my love of children and watching both my parents work in public schools.
