Hello Everyone! My name is Ms. Hardy. I am an Instructional Assistant. I was born and raised in Washington, DC. My family and I later moved to Maryland. I am a proud mother to my son who is currently in graduate school. I have 2 dogs and 1 turtle. In 2018, my family and I happily relocated to North Carolina, which is also where my mother was born and raised.  In my pastime, I enjoy watching movies, going for walks, and engaging in adventurous activities with family and friends. I have 23 years experience in the education field. I find joy in making a positive impact in the lives of children. The task of developing young minds into kind-hearted, passionate, and rigorous thinkers is a key priority. The opportunity to work alongside other educators and witness children achieve their goals socially and academically is a blessing!
