Ms. Hartley went to high school in Union County and graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with a Bachelor of Arts in English Literature and a minor in Creative Writing. After working as a copywriter for a year at a private marketing firm, she decided to pursue her Master's in Teaching at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, which brought her back to the Charlotte area and to Providence High School. She looks forward to working with each of you, and hopes that this school year provides you with opportunities to explore complex novels that help bring you closer to answering the question, "What does it mean to be human?" A self-proclaimed Harry Potter freak, the quickest way to win Ms. Hartley over is by using at least one Boy Wizard reference during an in-class discussion. When she's not at school, Ms. Hartley enjoys running, reading, writing and spending time with close friends and her fiance, Aaron. She also teaches group fitness classes and so asks that you be wary lest she make you do a set of burpees should you forget your homework (this is a joke...or is it?)
Welcome to class. Let's get to work. |
