5th Grade Science Teacher

I am a North Carolina native who has lived abroad, traveled, and discovered that there was no better place to call home but North Carolina.  Coats Elementary has been my place to expand young 4th and 5th Graders since 2008.  I enjoy the Great outdoors, Carolina Brightleaf Hotdogs off the grill, Mecum Auto Auctions, The Big Bang Theory reruns, along with Tombstone, and Top Gun.
