I grew up in Durham and attended Jordan High School. Upon graduation I was awarded a North Carolina Teaching Fellow Scholarship. In 2010, I earned my BA in Middle Grades Education from UNC Chapel Hill. Previously, I taught middle school math in Durham and Wake County Public Schools. I was blessed to begin teaching at St. Thomas More Catholic School in 2014, teaching 7th and 8th grade math. I enjoy singing, watching Carolina sports, and spending time with my family and friends. I have been married to my husband, Tim for eight years. We are the Pastor and First Lady of New Liberty Baptist Church in Louisburg. On March 3, 2020, we welcomed my husband's namesake, TJ, to our family.
