The First Grade Experience

I began working at Tiller in 2007. I enjoy working here because of the close community made up of staff, students and parents. My husband and I have two sons. Our oldest is happily married and they have blessed us with a precious granddaughter! Our second son is proudly serving our country in the Navy. We enjoy spending time as a family out on the water.

I am a Carteret County native. My husband and I have a family of three sons, three dogs, and two cats. When I am not in the classroom, chances are you can find me lounging in a beach chair on Shackleford Banks. In 2017 I began substitute teaching and found my passion for preparing children for the future. This passion lead me to Tiller School where I work as a Teaching Assistant in the 3rd and 4th grade classrooms. I am so proud to be a part of the Tiller School family, and to work alongside them to enrich the lives of our wonderful students.ve a BS in Public Relations and a minor in Business from Appalachian State University. I joined the Tiller family in 2018 after becoming an empty nester and moving to Atlantic Beach from Durham, NC. I have always been passionate about children’s education and helped start a charter school in Durham in 2005. I have 3 children in college, two of whom will graduate this spring. My youngest is a sophomore at ASU. In my spare time I enjoy decorating, boating and spending time on the beach. I’m a diehard Tarheel. GO HEELS!
