Here is some background information on myself. I have been a teacher in Carteret for 19 years. Throughout my teaching career, I taught kindergarten, second grade, fourth grade, and my current position as a Reading Specialist. I am married and a mother of two children. I have a 17 year old daughter and a 14 year old son. Both my childern are very active in sports, so I spent much of my time going to all their sporting events. I am a big dog lover who resides with two large and two small dogs. When the weather is warm, I enjoy spending time on the beach and engaging in outdoor activities.
