I grew up in High Point, North Carolina and attended Guilford County Schools. I graduated from Ragsdale High School and continued my education at Appalachian State University, graduating with a Bachelor of Science degree in Political Science and a double minor in Business Administration and Planning and Urban Development.  I later obtained my Master of Business Administration (MBA) from University of Phoenix. And I recently completed my Educational Specialist degree (EdS) with a concentration in Curriculum and Instruction from University of Phoenix.  I have been with Guilford County Schools since 2005 and have been at the Middle College at NC A&T since 2008.  I started at the Middle College as the data manager/treasurer, then entered the classroom where I taught Business Education (Principles of Business and Finance, Business Law, Entrepreneurship and Multi-Media Webpage Design).  I am a certified Business Education Teacher with the State of North Carolina. I am currently the Learn & Earn Facilitator. In this position, I work with the dual enrolled students who take college courses. I enjoy advising these young men as they work towards earning college credits while in high school.  The Middle College at NC A&T is not only a school for all males, but we are a family.
