About me
I moved to Wilmington in 2021 to start my teaching journey at ASH. I moved from Clayton, NC and I am a fourth year Family and Consumer Science Teacher. I attended both Stanly Community College and Wake Tech Community College where I received my Associate Degree in Early Childhood Education. I graduated from East Carolina where I received my Bachelor Degree in Family and Consumer Science Education. I have worked in the Early Childhood field for 14 years. Now, I have decided to teach and share my knowledge with the students.
I currently teach Child Development and Early Childhood Education 1. I am also one of the FCCLA advisors. I am excited to be back with the faculty at Ashley this year. I am so happy to see all of you in the classroom. I believe that this year will be a great year for all of us.
