The 2022-2023 school year marks my 19th year with Cabarrus County Schools and my 5th year as a Coltrane Webb Cougar! I am originally from the small North Carolina town of Kernersville but I have called Concord my home since I began my career.  I graduated in 2004 from UNC-Charlotte with a degree in Special Education - Mild Disabilities.  In 2009 I became a National Board Certified Teacher in the area of Exceptional Needs Specialist / Early Childhood through Young Adulthood.  In 2013 I completed my Master's Degree in Reading Education K-12 from UNC-Charlotte.
