I am honored to be joining the Carl A. Furr Elementary School family this year.  Prior to my time at Furr I served as an Assistant Principal at Harrisburg Elementary School for four years.  Prior to serving as an Assistant Principal, I was an Instructional Technology Facilitator for four years and a classroom teacher for 14 years.  In 2016, I earned my post graduate certification in Educational Leadership from Appalachian State University, where I also earned my principal licensure. In 2014, I earned my Masters in Education in Instructional Technology from East Carolina University.  I began my journey in education at University of North Carolina at Charlotte earning my Bachelors of Arts in Elementary Education in 1998.

I look forward meeting and working with all the scholars and families to support the strong academic program at Carl A. Furr Elementary.

I have been a part of the Furr family for several years.  At Furr, I have taught 3^rd and 5^th grade and am now serving as the Assistant Principal. I love everything about our Furr family, the students, the families, our staff, everything.  It has been my honor to serve this community.  I have a BA in Education from Bloomsburg University, Bloomsburg, PA. In May 2017, I graduated from Gardner-Webb University with my Masters in Executive Leadership. I live in Concord, NC but I am originally from Montoursville, PA.  I am married and we have one daughter named Carlee.  She attended Furr, and now is attending NC State.  We also have two dogs, named Smitty and Teddy, both named after former Carolina Panthers players. Outside of school, I enjoy time with family and friends and walking.
