I was born in Virginia Beach, VA, but grew up in Cary. I went to college at Appalachian State University where I took full advantage of the location by spending my time snowboarding, hiking, and tubing (when I wasn't in class). While at App, I played on the club Women's Lacrosse team. I now spend much of my free time coaching elementary and middle school girl's lacrosse in Holly Springs. I taught first grade for two years and am excited to now be in my second year of teaching third grade. I have a golden retriever named Ziggy who loves to take me for walks and go swimming in the pond. I love going to the beach and watching football, especially if it is the ASU Mountaineers or the NY Giants!
