I was born and raised in Johnston County, NC. I graduated from North Johnston High School and Methodist College. At Methodist I was part of the Women's Basketball team that went on to win two Conference Tournaments, as well as play in the NCAA Division III playoffs as a sophomore and junior. I graduated from Methodist with a degree in Physical Education. This will be my 5th year teaching at Smithfield Selma, but my 13 year as a teacher in NC. I previously coached at the high school level for 12 years. Currently I am the Assistant Women's Basketball Coach at my alma mater, Methodist University.
