About me!• I love teaching!• My family includes Mr. Carowan (Air Traffic

Controller Retired), Andy (Appalachian State University Hospitality and Tourism major), and Sam (North Carolina State University Engineering major).

• I have lived in North Carolina for 23 years, but I am proud to be from East Tennessee! I’m a huge Tennessee Volunteer football and basketball fan, but I also pull for the ASU Mountaineers and NCSU Wolfpack since my boys are students at those schools!

• I love reading, going to the beach, scrapbooking, and spending time with my family!
