I grew up in Wilkesboro, NC. My husband and I have three sweet girls, Sophie, Molly and Eloise. I completed my undergraduate work as a Teaching Fellow at UNC-Asheville. I have 13 years of teaching experience and a master’s degree in Curriculum and Instruction with a focus on Reading Education from NCSU. I have worked as a reading specialist, literacy coach and teacher trainer. In addition to working at Grow, I continue to work with Wake County Public School as a curriculum writer and workshop presenter. I love to support and watch children develop into readers and writers, and I am thrilled to be part of the Grow community!
