Welcome to my Buncombe County Schools Web Page.

I have been a business and marketing instructor with Buncombe County Schools since 2005. I moved from the classroom to the role of Career Development Coordinator in August of 2022 and I am excited to work with students in the virtual world and help them achieve their educational goals.

I attended Carolina Day School during high school and graduated in 1989. I attended and graduated from The University of North Carolina at Greensboro with a major in Business Administration in 2003. I completed my teaching degree at N.C. State in 2006, a Master's degree in School Administration from Gardner Webb in 2012, and a Master's Degree in Instructional Technology from Appalachian State in 2018. My work experience before becoming an educator includes human resource management for a restaurant corporation, management for Enterprise Rent-A-Car, a mortgage broker for a lending corporation, and various positions in the hospitality industry. I opened a short-term rental and small wedding venue in 2022 and became an entrepreneur myself. I feel my experiences in industry bring relevance and insight to the business and marketing classes I teach.

I love teaching and helping students find their passion so they can have a productive and successful life. I believe in forming strong relationships with my students so I can create an inclusive environment where ALL students can be successful.

My students will use Canvas as my Learning Management System and Canva as my digital design application.
