Hello Pirate Family! 

It is my privilege to continue to work with our students and our amazing staff and faculty here! My goal is to continue providing a supportive climate and culture conducive to teaching and learning. I will also continue to build relationships and make our students' school experiences relevant and exciting. 

I am a graduate of Elizabeth City State University with a bachelor's in Social Work. VIKING PRIDE! I received my Masters in Executive Leadership from Gardner-Webb University. Home of the BULLDOGS! I have been in education for the last 20 years. First working with students with special needs at the elementary and secondary levels and then as an Assistant Principal. Family is very important to me. I love spending quality time with my two children, Joshua and Brielle. We have a black Labrador Retriever named Shadow. In my spare time, I love traveling, attending my kid's sporting events, and watching Lifetime movies and HGTV. 

I am eager to continue to serve the Corinth Community and work collaboratively with staff, families, and the community to create lifelong learners. If you have any questions or need any assistance please do not hesitate to contact our admin team.
