I am an Academically and/or Intellectually Gifted (AIG) Reading Specialist for Craven County Schools.   I have a Bachelor's Degree in English and a Master's Degree in Education with a specialization in Language and Literacy.  The 2017-2018 school year marks my 20th year in education.  I work with students and teachers at Grover C. Fields Middle, H.J. MacDonald Middle, and Havelock Middle Schools.  Over the years, I have taught grades 6-8 English/Language Arts, grades 9-11 English, and have served as a Curriculum Coach.  I truly believe that if we (educators) keep the main thing the main thing (students), we all win.
