My family and I live just north of Stanley in Lincoln County. We have a son, a Kindergartner here at CCS, and a step-son, who is a Junior at East Lincoln High School, that keep us very busy! We love going to the beach and enjoying time together! Outside of school I work as a Motorcoach Operator for Burke Christian Tours and periodically teach Driver Education for a driving school based in Mooresville, NC.

I am a proud graduate of the State University of New York at Fredonia with a Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education, a Master’s Degree in Reading Education (K-12) at Queens University in Charlotte, and my Principal Licensure from Wingate University. Before coming to Community Charter, I taught and have served in various roles in education for around 20 years, all in North Carolina. I have taught 2nd, 4th, 5th, and 6th Grades, with my latest educational journey teaching 5th Grade Social Studies/Writing at Pine Lake Prep in Mooresville for the past 9 years. Additionally I was our middle school’s Head Coach in baseball, softball, and basketball at Pine Lake.

I am looking forward to getting to know you, your students, and our entire school community. Feel free to reach out at any time!
