Welcome to the 2024-2025 school year at Warner Girls’ Leadership Academy and Room A201, Meredith College! I am the 6th-8th Grade Social Studies Teacher. I look forward to the adventures that the Wildflowers and I will have as we journey from the regions and people of the Eastern Hemisphere to Ancient Greece to the first Global Age and on to the beginning and Reconstruction of America. I am eager to hear your voices and analyze historical situations as a historian!

I look forward to partnering with you to make our wildflowers grow and be prepared for their next journey in high school life.
