Hello NDS Families! I am a Morganton native and graduated from Freedom High School, then continued my education at Appalachian State University with a BS in Physical Education.  For 30 years, I was proud to teach in the education systems of Caldwell and Burke Counties, teaching PE to middle school students before retiring in 2020.  During those 30 years of teaching, I coached baseball, volleyball, basketball, and soccer, while also serving as the Athletic Director at William Lenoir Middle School and Liberty Middle School.  After retiring from teaching, I then worked within Burke County Schools as an Attendance Counselor, serving the western county schools from 2021 to May, 2024. As teaching and coaching were my passions, I also proudly served for 30 years in the North Carolina Air National Guard as a C-130 and C-17 Loadmaster before retiring in 2022. As a loadmaster, I finished my career with 4,545 hours of flight time and over 700 hours within active combat zones around the Middle East. Outside of teaching, coaching, and the military, you might find me on my bike, swimming laps, running, or on the golf course.

I am excited about the road ahead here at New Dimensions, along with the new challenges and experiences it will bring working with the middle school staff and students. My goal as the Middle School Administrator is to help provide the tools and support for our staff and students to foster a positive and productive educational environment.
