I am a native to this area. I graduated from West Iredell High School in 1994. I then proceeded to
Mitchell Community College for two years to get the basic courses out of the way. Then I transferred to
Gardner-Webb University which there I received a bachelors degree in Management Information Systems. I then proceeded a career in Computer Programming for a little over a year and decided this wasn't for me. My mom, who is a nurse in the school system, convinced me to get into teaching so I had to go back to school to receive a teaching license in Business Education. It took me two years to receive that license from
Lenoir Rhyne University. I have a love for school and education so then I decided to go on and I received my MBA in School Administration from Gardner-Webb University in 2006. I have been teaching since the year 2000 at West Middle and I love it here.
