4th Grade
Hello MDS! It is great to be back where it all started for me. As an alumnus of Morganton Day School, I am ready to help current students continue to have the same experiences I am privileged to remember. I have carried I.B. principles with me throughout my life, and I find that these characteristics have allowed me to develop a deep, and meaningful understanding of the world around me.
After attending MDS for 9 years, I went to Patton High School, from which I then went on to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where I studied Psychology and Arabic. From UNC, I went to North Carolina State University to pursue and attain my Master's in Physiology in 2022. Since then, I worked as an orthodontic and endodontic dental assistant until joining the MDS team last year as a substitute teacher and the middle school ELA teacher. As a social and physical scientist, I love to learn from the environment around me and observe how different methods work for students. I am ready to see where this year takes us, and excited to see what my students will accomplish!
