About Me

I am a graduate of Elizabeth City State University with a Bachelors of Science in Elementary Education; a graduate of North Carolina State University with a Masters of School Administration and my doctorate in Educational Leadership and Supervision. My dissertation which was entitled, "Gender disparities in reading achievement in grades 3-5". Growing up I developed a love for education by witnessing my mother teach and help students in the neighborhood. I knew when I was in kindergarten that I wanted to be a teacher and in 1992 upon graduating from college I was afforded the opportunity to become a teacher in the county in which I lived as a child. I was a teacher for 19 years, prior to becoming an assistant principal and principal. I served as an assistant principal and principal for 8 years before taking a position as Director of Curriculum & Instruction/Title I and Chief Academic Officer. I retired in June of 2023 after completing 31 years of service in education. I knew when I retired that it would be hard to just stop. I have always had a desire to help students learn and be successful. I believe that students learn differently and as educators we have to adapt our teaching to meet their individual needs.
