I received my Bachelor of Social Work and a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte and my Masters in Executive Leadership Studies from Gardner-Webb University. I am a proud member of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. During my 24 years at New Hanover County Schools, I have worked at Virgo Middle School, Lakeside High School as the GE Scholars Academy coordinator, New Hanover High School and Snipes Academy of Arts and Design. I am now a proud member of the Castle Hayne Elementary Hurricanes!!

I am married to Vernon and the proud mother of Cierra, a graduate of NHHS and now an East Carolina Pirate and a 10 year old Pom-Chi named "Paris".

I work with McKinney-Vento students, attendance issues, the FIT team chair, 504 coordinator, NHCS Lead Team and assists in other areas as needed.

A School Social Worker works as a liaison between school, home, and the community offering support for students and their families. Through collaboration with families and the school, we address barriers that may be preventing the student from reaching their full potential.
