Joined Team CCS - December 2009
Experience
I began my career in education in 2009 as a teacher assistant at Saint Stephens Elementary School. The following year, I had the opportunity to become a special education teacher at SSE. I also worked as the teacher of a behavior cluster classroom at Tuttle Elementary School for one year before becoming the assistant principal at Snow Creek Elementary. In 2018, I became the Principal at Snow Creek Elementary School.
Education
B.A. from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
MSA from Appalachian State University
Why I Became an Educator
My parents inspired me to get into education and this started at an early age. My mother worked in education for as long as I can remember as a substitute teacher, tutor, and secretary; and my father is a retired minister. At an early age, I was able to see the power there is in teaching, counseling, and mentoring young people and adults and how that can change people's lives. This is where my passion for helping others began, and that passion still remains one of my driving forces today.
