Welcome to Enka Intermediate School!
I was born and raised in the Candler community and I'm thrilled to be at Enka Intermediate. After graduating from Enka High School I continued my education at Western Carolina University earning a Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education. Go Cats!. I then went to teach at Candler Elementary from 2013-2023. During my time at Candler I was a first and third grade teacher as well as the Title 1 Reading Specialist. I completed my Master's Degree in School Administration- Executive Leadership at Gardner-Webb University. Go Bulldogs!
As I mentioned above, I am a native of Candler. My husband and I still live in the community. We have a daughter named Jillian who is the highlight of our lives. We love to spend our time together as a family traveling, going to the lake, biking, skiing, snowboarding, and any other fun outdoor activities.
I look forward to building relationships with all students and families here at Enka Intermediate as well as helping all students grow and become successful in all they do.
