My experience in New Hanover County Schools include nine years as an MTSS coordinator (currently serving my second year at Sunset Park Elementary) and fifteen years as a classroom teacher. This work has allowed me to develop instructional and leadership skills to collaborate with all stakeholders in pursuit of growth and positive educational outcomes for all students.
