I am a native of Onslow County and graduated from Southwest High School in 1988.  I attended Coastal Carolina Community College and earned my Associates Degree in Business Administration. For 10 years I worked in an office environment and decided to pursue my dream of becoming a teacher.  I was fortunate to be accepted into the teaching program at UNC Wilmington and graduated in 2004.  I am very happy to be working with children in the community that I grew up in.

In my spare time I enjoy spending time outside in the warm sunshine with my son.  I also like to read on rainy days.  I love and collect the great hunter, the owl, Snowmen and Sunflowers.
