Hello! I am excited to serve as the School Psychologist for the students and families of Oakview Elementary and Holly Ridge Middle. This year marks my 30th year in the field of School Psychology.

I am a proud North Carolinian, originally from Clinton, and a NC Teaching Fellow. I earned my undergraduate degree in Psychology from NC State University (Go Pack!) and my graduate degree in School Psychology from East Carolina University. After completing my internship in Cumberland County, I worked in both Cumberland and Johnston Counties before joining WCPSS Psychological Services in 2005. In 2013, I was honored to be named the North Carolina School Psychology Association Practitioner of the Year.

Within WCPSS, I serve on the School Psychology Mentor Team and the Traumatic Brain Injury Team. I am also a member of the National Association of School Psychologists and the North Carolina School Psychology Association. I especially enjoy mentoring early career psychologists and providing supervision to practicum students and interns.

Outside of school, my husband and I enjoy spending time with family including our two amazing young adult children. I also enjoy concerts, caring for my flowerbeds, stargazing, cooking, birdwatching, relaxing at the beach with a good book, and floating in the pool.
