I am entering my sixth year as the principal of Stanley Middle School. Prior to being the principal at Stanley, I was the principal at Southweast Middle and Rhyne Elementary. Before Rhyne, I was an assistant principal at Hunter Huss High School for five years.

Prior to becoming a school administrator, I spent eight years in the classroom teaching at Mt. Holly Middle School and East Gaston High School. I earned both my Masters of Education (UNCC and Western Carolina) and my National Board Certification while teaching at the middle school level. I earned my college degree and teaching license at Meredith College in Raleigh, NC.
