Originally from the great state of New Jersey, I have also lived in Florida and Connecticut.  My husband (originally from Morganton) and I have made Catawba County our home.  I obtained my Bachelors degree in Elementary Education from the University of South Florida and my Masters and Doctorate in Educational Leadership from Gardner-Webb University in Boiling Springs, N.C.  I have four beautiful children ranging from ages 14 to 24, one of which still reside at home and attends CCTL on the Mitchell Campus.
