After graduating from High Point University, I began my teaching career at Trinity High School, in 1992. I then spent seven years at home, raising my two youngest children. In 2006, I decided to return to teaching in the area of Exceptional Children at Uwharrie Middle School.  During the seven years of working with special education students, I attained my National Board Certification.  In 2013,  I  reentered the regular education setting, at UMS teaching 8th grade ELA for three years.  In 2016, I began my dream job of teaching at RECHS.  I knew this was a unique opportunity not only for myself but for my children. Two of which graduated from RECHS.  My goal is to continue on the path of knowledge and leadership so that I may pass these qualities on to my students.
