I am originally from White River Junction, Vermont and earned my Bachelor of Arts in History and Political Science degree from Gordon College. I also hold a Master of Arts in Teaching degree from Quinnipiac University, with concentrations in Secondary Education and Social Studies.
My teaching career has spanned 16 years. In addition to Johnston County, I have worked in the Guilford and Nash county school systems. I also had the privilege of teaching for three years in Seoul, South Korea, an experience that had a profound impact personally and professionally.
As a New England native, I am a lifelong Boston Bruins, Red Sox, Celtics, and New England Patriots fan. Outside of the classroom, I enjoy spending time with my family and taking trips, especially to Europe and the Caribbean.
