I am so excited to be starting my fourth year as a fourth grade teacher at Greenway Park Elementary! This past summer, I got married. You might remember me as Ms. Payne, but my new name is Mrs. Davis! I've lived in Charlotte for eight years, but I grew up in a small town called Thomasville, NC. My parents still live there, along with my little brother who is a junior at ECU. Growing up, I always wanted to be a teacher (one year I even asked for an overhead projector for Christmas, so I could teach to my stuffed animals). After graduating from high school, I received the NC Teaching Fellows scholarship to attend Queens University of Charlotte. During my four years at Queens I was a member of the swim team, and I studied Elementary Education and English Literature. I'm also currently in graduate school at East Carolina University. When I am not teaching, I spend my time coaching the varsity swim team at Providence Day School and the Barclay Downs summer league swim team.
