Hello! My name is Merrie Smith formerly known as Merrie Luna. I am a Pittsburgh native and have lived in Charlotte for 4 years now. I was fortunate enough to move to this great city due to marrying my long-time friend of twenty years, Kevin Smith. With the marriage it became an instant family of four with "the Twins" Devin and Kedron moving into middle school at the time. I was also very lucky to have my mother come along for the move. I attended the University of Pittsburgh (better known as PITT). There I received a Bachelors Degree in Humanities and a Masters of Arts Degree in Elementary Education. Upon graduation, I entered the Pittsburgh Public School District where I taught for 11 years, eight of which were third grade (My Favorite) before relocating to Charlotte. I have been in the CMS district for four years and taught fourth grade for two years and third grade for two years.
Some of the things I love to do in my spare time is: travel, dance, have fun with family and friends, reading magazines, and roller skating is still a past-time I enjoy. Being an educator was not my first career, however it is the best and most rewarding experience I could have chosen to do for a living.
