Before transferring to Weaver Academy, I was an English teacher at the Middle College at GTCC-High Point. Previous to that, I taught Foods and Nutrition for five years at Reidsville Senior High School. I began my teaching career as English and Theatre teacher at Page High School. I hold a B.A. in Performing and Visual Arts / Theatre from the University of Virginia’s College at Wise, an M.A.Ed. in English from Wake Forest University, and an A.A.S. in Culinary Technology from Guilford Technical Community College. I earned teacher certification in Family and Consumer Sciences from NC A&T State University and graduate studies in photography and art history at East Tennessee State University. I am also an adjunct instructor for the English Department at GTCC. I grew up in a small coal-mining town in Southwestern Virginia where my family still lives. In my spare time, I operate a piano tuning and repair business.
