Rebekah Britt is a native of Greenville.  As a child, she attended Pitt County Schools, and graduated from Farmville Central High School.  With a passion for cutting hair, she became a cosmetologist shortly after high school.  Being drawn to education and having a desire to help children learn and succeed, led her to go back to school and change careers.  She received her BS and MAEd in Elementary Education from East Carolina University, and is now pursuing her Instructional Technology Masters online from ECU.

 
Currently, Rebekah teaches at Northeast elementary, located right off of Highway 11 in Kinston.  This is her seventh year of teaching, and she has taught 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grades, as well as serving as committee and grade chairs.  Last year, she represented Teachers Memorial Elementary as their 2008-09 Teacher of the Year.  She is also currently a candidate for National Boards for Professional Teaching Standards certification. 
In her free time, she enjoys surfing the web, reading, working out, and spending time with her boyfriend and his 12-year-old son.  Much of her family and friends live in the area, so she gets to spend a lot of time with loved ones.
