My name is Aisling (Ash-ling) Carbery-Shaha, and I am originally from DeRidder, LA. I graduated from the University of Louisiana at Monroe in December of 2014 with a B.S. degree in Elementary Education (1-5). After graduating, I began pursuit of my M.Ed. degree.  While getting my Masters of Education, I began teaching first grade in Lake Charles, LA in 2015. I completed my Masters of Education program in May of 2017 and received my degree in Curriculum & Instruction with a concentration in Gifted. In 2017 I moved to Charlotte, NC and began a job teaching third grade. Now, I have the pleasure of saying I teach third, forth, and fifth grade GT students right here in Rock Hill, SC.

Within my family, I am the youngest sibling and only girl. My mother is from Dublin, Ireland and my dad is from Green Bay, Wisconsin (Go Packers!). I tend to keep myself extremely busy because boredom is not my friend. I’ve been dancing for over twenty years taking classes in tap, ballet, jazz, clogging, hip hop, pom, and many more. I also love to travel and I spend free time reading. The most recent new hobby I’ve picked up is ice skating; while I’m not well versed in it, I try my best… Even if that means I end up falling a few times. I have no children, but I do have a rescue Shih Tzu named Paddington. I’ve had him since he was ten weeks old, and prior to moving to the east coast, I used to volunteer with his rescue group.
