I received my Bachelor's and Master's degree in Child and Family Development from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. In 2006 I started working with young children with special needs with Cabarrus County Schools. I taught in the classroom for seven years and I am now a member of the assessment team and support staff. I also help implement the Preschool Pyramid Model (PPM) throughout our school by coaching and training. Cabarrus County Schools Preschool has been a part of a state wide grant since 2009. Each year we continue to train and coach in our preschool classrooms.
