FAMILY
My husband, Flip, is a Franchise Business Consultant with Bojangles, and we have been happily married for 31 years. Together, we are the proud parents of our daughter, Anika, who will be graduating this year with her master's degree in Counseling Psychology.
Family is at the heart of who I am and that commitment extends into my leadership style. I strive to lead with compassion, integrity, and a servant's heart, believing that every individual has unique strengths an limitless potential. As educators and leaders, our responsibility is to create opportunities that help others recognize their value and discover what they are capable of achieving. This philosphy is reflected in my personal motto: #TEACHTHEHEARTTHENTHEMIND.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with family, playing softball and relaxing by catching up on my favorite soap operas.
