I am originally from Asheboro, NC where I graduated from Southwestern Randolph High School. I then attended Duke University on the Benjamin N. Duke Leadership scholarship, graduating with a degree in Psychology in 1999. After several years of teaching, in 2009, I earned my Master’s in School Administration from Appalachian State. Finally, I attended UNC-Greensboro where I earned both my Specialist in Education and Doctorate in Education degrees. I’ve served as a principal at all three levels of K-12 public education and have truly enjoyed my professional journey over the years. I was named as Millbrook’s next principal in early March of 2022 and began on May 9th. It is an honor to be the Millbrook Magnet High School Principal - a school that celebrates its centennial anniversary in 2023 and boasts a rigorous academic program for students, geared toward career and college readiness after graduation. In the coming years, the team at Millbrook will look to establish its foundation with the four cornerstone principles below. Let us know how we can best serve you!

My hometown is Denver, North Carolina (Proudly known as DENVER of the EAST) where I graduated from East Lincoln High School, Home of the Fighting Mustangs.  I attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill where I earned a BA in Secondary Education with a concentration in Mathematics & BA in Psychology.  I earned my Master's in School Administration from North Carolina State University.  However make no mistake, my heart is still Tarheel Blue.  Starting in 1994, I have served my entire professional career in the Wake County Public School System at three different school sites:  a mathematics teacher at Garner High School, an administrator at East Wake High School & East Wake School of Engineering Systems and finally here at Millbrook High School.  Becoming a Millbrook Wildcat has been an exciting, wonderful challenge for me.

This past year, I went back to school to add-on to my license, School Administration from the University of North Carolina-Wilmington.
