Nicole Drakeford

Hello! My name is Nicole Drakeford, and I teach fourth and fifth grade (Building Bridges) at Lesslie Elementary! I hold a bachelor's degree from Montreat College and a master's degree from Walden University. I am grateful and delighted to be a part of such a wonderful school and district that shares my passion for learning and teaching. In the year 2021, I began my teaching profession. When I'm not teaching, I enjoy spending time with my family, attending poetry slams, visiting art galleries, and teaching dance.
