As a passionate Caldwell County native who went through the local school system myself, I feel deeply invested in this community. I'm a proud graduate of Hibriten High School, Caldwell Community College & Technical Institute, and Appalachian State University. Now I'm thrilled to give back as an educator guiding students to discover rewarding careers.

Although I only began teaching formally in 2007, my enthusiasm for Career and Technical Education traces all the way back to the CTE classes offered during my own high school tenure. Those experiences unlocked my special admiration for skilled trades and technical fields. It's been a joy translating personal knowledge into launching pads for the next generation of talented young professionals.

As an educator and passionate CTE advocate who walked a similar path not long ago, I truly understand the life-shaping potential of these programs. It's both a privilege and a responsibility I take seriously - helping students recognize their talents, so they can carve out fulfilling futures doing what they love. I can’t wait to watch dreams take flight!
