William W. Estes Elementary

Growing Leaders One Child at a Time

Welcome to Kindergarten! I am looking forward to working with all of you in this exciting first year of school! This is my ninth year teaching kindergarten at Estes and I am excited to be a part of your child’s educational journey. I worked in kindergarten as a teacher assistant here at Estes previously and prior to that as an interim kindergarten teacher in Buncombe County. I graduated in May 2008 from UNC-Asheville with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and K-6 Teaching Licensure. I also  graduated in May 2013 from Mars Hill College with my Masters of Elementary Education. I enjoy spending time with my husband, our pets, visiting the beach, reading, and taking photographs!

Kindergarten is a year of important foundational learning and you will be amazed at all your child will accomplish. On my website, you will find different resources and information to help make your child’s transition into kindergarten a smooth one. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. A partnership between adults at home and school is essential in helping children learn and grow. I look forward to working with you and your student this year!
