I have always lived in Harnett County with the exception of my high school years when we moved to Sierra Vista-Fort Huachuca, AZ. After graduation (1984), I returned home and worked at Food Lion as I attended Central Carolina Community College and Campbell University (1990). I earned a BS in Middle School Math and Science Education.
I taught 7th and 8th grade science at Western Harnett Middle School from 1991-1996. I transferred to Harnett Central High School in the fall of 1996. I currently teach Physical Science. In my tenure at HCHS, I have taught Earth and Physical Science, Pre-Algebra and Algebra 1. I coached softball for 18 seasons and will be assisting with swimming for 3 seasons.
I am actively involved as At Large Representative on the Executive Board of Professional Educators of North Carolina.
