I graduated from Mount Airy High School in 2000. During my time in school I played basketball and tennis, ran track, cheered, and was president of Art Club and SADD. I also served as secretary for student government my senior year. I received my Bachelor's Degree from Lees- Mcrae College and a Master's Degree from Gardner-Webb University. I have taught in Orange County Schools, Mount Airy City Schools, and now Stokes County Schools. In addition to being a classroom teacher, I held the role of Instructional Coach. The road to Stokes County may have been long, but since being here I can truly say that I am at home! I am thankful to be a part of a system and school that put students first and values giving students the best opportunities they deserve. I look forward to growing as an educator at Poplar Springs and King Elementary Schools.
