I was born in Charlotte. I grew up in Gastonia, North Carolina. I am one of eleven children. I attended East Carolina University and graduated in 1994, with a degree in History and English. I worked in middle school for 5 years than went to her old high school and taught US History, Civics, and World Cultures for 2 years. I obtained her National Boards in History in 1999. In 2002, I received my Masters in Administration. Then I moved to Wilmington in 2002. Since the move I worked at Trask Middle School teaching Language Arts.
