I have lived in Cabarrus County all of my life.  I am a proud graduate of Central Cabarrus High School.  Go Vikings!  I earned my teaching degree at University of North Carolina at Charlotte.  I have been married to Stephen for 30 years.  We have a daughter, Sara, who teaches 1st grade in Cabarrus County.  She and her husband Dillon have our only grandchild-Carter.  We have a son, Nolan, who is 22 years old and is a computer scientist.

I have been teaching for 26 years.  I have taught fifth, second, and third grade. I have also taught a third/fourth combination class for several years at Mount Pleasant Elementary. I am teaching a 3rd grade class this school year. Teaching is what I have always loved to do!
