I am a native of Onslow County and a product of the Dixon community.  I graduated from Dixon High School in 1990 and graduated with my BA in Elementary Education from UNC Wilmington in 1994.  I was a classroom teacher for 14 years at Summersill Elementary and Dixon Elementary.  In 2011, I added Academically and Gifted Licensure from East Carolina University to my teaching license. In 2012 I transitioned into the role as AIG Specialist in Onslow County Schools. I have been fortunate to work at Stateside Elementary, Queens Creek Elementary, Clyde Erwin Elementary Magnet School, Blue Creek Elementary.  I am happy to return to the Dixon community, as I am working with gifted students at Dixon Elementary and Dixon Middle School.

My husband Richard and I have been married since 1994 and we are the proud parents of Josh and Sadie.  Josh is currently attending UNC Chapel Hill and Sadie is a student at Dixon High School.
