I graduated from New Bern High School in 1991 then graduated from East Carolina University with a B.S. in History with Social Studies Certification in 1996 and started my career at Pamlico County High School. I tought Social Studies, primarily American History and World History, at Pamlico County High School for thirteen years. I also served as the Department Chair for Social Studies and as Athletics Director during my tenure there. I came to New Bern High School in 2010 and have been a Bear for the past seven years. I am currently serving as the Social Studies Department Chair and Athletics Director here as well. I love being at New Bern High and having the opportunity to influence the next generation of Bears to be leaders in our community in the future.
