HI’m thrilled to be part of the Lesslie family as the Resource Teacher for 4th and 5th grade. I’ve been a certified special educator for 10 years and earned my Master of Arts in Special Education from UNC Charlotte. I’m married with two sweet little boys who keep life fun and loud. My heart is in helping children grow into their best selves academically, socially, and emotionally. One of my favorite beliefs is: “Every child is wonderfully unique, and it takes a compassionate, intentional heart to guide their growth, shape their minds, and help them believe in their own potential.” I’m here to support, cheer on, and walk alongside our students as they reach their full potential. I’m looking forward to a wonderful year of growth, learning, and connection!
