I am originally from Bethel Park, Pennsylvania thirty minutes south of Pittsburgh. Yes, I am a fan of the Pittsburgh Steelers! I graduated from Slippery Rock Univsersity in the spring of 2003 and moved to North Carolina that summer. I knew I wanted to be a teacher from a very young age. I used to play school in the basement of my house, which was turned into a mini classroom. I had a desk, chalk board, and plently of school supplies my teachers gave me at the end of each school year. I taught at Rolesville Elementary for five years in fourth grade and then come to Brier Creek. This will be my ninth year teaching and I am very excited!
I will be married five years this September to Ray Collins, a huge Tar Heel fan! We just had our first child a sweet little boy, Danny Robert Collins born March 7, 2012! The past few months have been very busy here in our house and we have been enjoying every minute of it!
