I am a lifelong learner of all things. Not knowing all there is to know, excites and humbles me at the same time. It reminds me of the quote by John Cotton Dana: "Who dares to teach, must never cease to learn."
Choosing a career in education was one of the best decisions I ever made in my life. I earned a degree in Social Science Education from Elon University. Soon after graduation I accepted a position as a history teacher at Western Alamance High School. The path twisted a bit when I made the decision to temporarily exit the classroom. Years later I found myself involved as a reading tutor to elementary school students. Then I began to miss the classroom more, so in 2013, I accepted a full time social studies teaching position at a middle school. The adventure grew in excitement, as it was different, yet invigorating, to work with preteens. A few years after that, I joined the Woods' community and have found great fulfillment in being a part of this outstanding school. I learn something new everyday working with kids, and they give me great hope for the future.
