Brookside became my home in August, 2007. I began my career as a SLPA working with Lesli Miller. I absolutely loved my job. However, èAVƵ County cut all the Assistant positions in speech. I stayed on as a Teacher Assistant in Behavior Lab. From there I held positions in 2nd grade, kindergarten, SBS, and now in our SAC classroom. 
Away from work, I spend my time with my 10 year old niece. We both enjoy the mountains. Our summers are spent at the recreation center pool where she participates on the swim team.

I was born at Westover Air Force Base, Chicopee, Massachusetts. My dad was in the Air Force,
and I grew up moving from one military base to another, making many friends along the way. I have
lived in Massachusetts, Okinawa, Florida, Nebraska, and Rhode Island. I have lived in North Carolina for
almost fifteen years. I graduated from the University of Rhode Island with a Bachelor of Science in
Human Development and Family Studies. I took time off to raise my two sons. My interest in Special
Education began after raising a son with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. I have two sons. My older son,
Justin, passed away, and my younger son, Logan is a junior at UNC Charlotte. I worked for Cleveland
County Schools as a substitute cafeteria worker and substitute teacher. When Logan got older, I began
working for èAVƵ. I have worked for èAVƵ for eight years. I have
worked as a cafeteria assistant, an EC bus monitor, and an EC Teacher Assistant. When I am not at work I
enjoy bird feeding (my favorite is the hummingbird), gardening, bike riding, hiking, reading, and doing
embroidery. I also enjoy spending time with my family.
