- Background: This is my seventh year teaching at Northwest High School. As a NC Teaching Fellow at UNC-Chapel Hill, I earned my B.A. in English with Honors in 2004 and then received my MAEd in Secondary English Education at Wake Forest University in 2005. In 2009, I married a wonderful man, T Huynh-Duc, and we currently reside in Jamestown with our kitty, Sherbet. We had our first child, Timothy, on September 2, 2011!
