About Me: Hello! What an honor it is to be teaching in the school that built me! I am a life-long resident of Cherryville and love my community. This is my 9th year in education, and my first year working as a Librarian. I have enjoyed watching all the students learn and grow in the library. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family (Will, Lee, David, and Ava) and walking my dog, Albert.
