Experience: I have worked in education for 15 years. I absolutely love what I do and when you love what you do it is not a job! On top of having my bachelors degree in Special Education I also have a degree in Recreational Therapy. I am looking to pursue my Masters Degree in the future.

Favorite Educational Quote and Why: The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.-Nelson Mandela

In the failure is where we gain our strength and grow. If all we had was success, we would never know how sweet the comeback was.

Why I Became An Educator: I am not here to save the world. But instead to make a difference in the life of one child. If at the end of my journey that is done, then I have accomplished the greatest thing in the world.

Favorite Places in Caldwell County: Anywhere I can catch a beautiful sunrise or sunset!

Activites: I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. I have a daughter that loves to shop! I have a pup names River that keeps me busy as well! When not at work, you can find me in the gym. I am a bodybuilder and compete in NPC shows in the Carolinas. My future goals are to compete in a National show and go for my Pro Card!
