I graduated from East Montgomery High School in 1985 from NC State University in 1989.  I worked at the North Carolina Zoological Park for 13 years as a Zookeeper and had the pleasure to work with many large and dangerous animals.  I talk about my experiences in class to help the students connect with 'real world experiences.'

I began teaching at East Montgomery High School at the beginning of the 2003/2004 school year in the Agriculture Department and moved to the Science Department after my first semester.  I taught Earth/Environmental Science and Biology for 15 years at East Montgomery and moved to Montgomery County Early College.  I teach Honor's Earth/Environmental Science and Honor's Biology at MCEC.
