Bio

I was raised in the Midwestern states and moved to North Carolina in 1987.  After getting married and starting a family I began my career in education. My husband, Don, and I have one son, Daniel.  Daniel was home-schooled until he was accepted to ARCS in his 5^th grade year.  I started working at ARCS as a substitute teacher, then part-time Food Service Coordinator, and currently work as Associate Teacher/Food Service Coordinator/Web Manager. I hold Associate Degrees in Early Childhood-Associate Teacher and Early Childhood-Children with Special Needs. I am in my seventh year at ARS.

Parents:  If you need to talk directly to me during the school day (emergencies pertaining to your child’s lunch), please call the school and ask for me or leave me a message.
