I have been a teacher with CMS since 2000. I have taught primarily 1st grade, although I have experience with the other elementary grades.
I love Charlotte, even though I miss the beach. Growing up in Pawleys Island, SC, I will always have a little "sand between my toes" no matter where I live!
I have a large, close-knit family. My husband and I have no children, but we are involved with our nieces and nephews of all ages. One of my sisters lives right next door. Two brothers and another sister who reside in other states stay in close touch, through Skype and visits. We have frequent guests in our home - for a meal, a visit, or an entire weekend. Our three dogs, Bos, Saiga, and Lady, enjoy the company as well!
I am an avid walker, with an occasional run thrown in. I walk about 5 miles each day. When I can hit the beach for my walks, I'm even happier!
I enjoy cooking, and like making "from scratch" recipes of many things. I love making natural, chemical free cleaners and products. I'm a fan of companies that exercise socially responsible policies. Taking care of our earth and being kind to living things (plants and animals) is important to me.
We love to go out to eat, and we love the mountains. I'm a football fan, while my husband loves soccer. We both love hockey. Attending sporting events together is one of our hobbies - baseball (Charlotte Knights), football (Carolina Panthers), hockey (Checkers, or Hurricanes), and we try to do this whenever we can. I'm a huge Carolina Gamecocks fan, but also like Clemson (although when the Gamecocks and the Tigers play their big rival game, it's all about the Gamecocks!!!).
I pamper myself with regular pedicures, and a Caribou Coffee treat on Fridays. I like all kinds of food, but would pick pizza as an all time favorite. I love chocolate, and always have a little on hand! I read whenever I have a chance - professional books and articles, crime novels, and a good spook story by Stephen King top my list.
