I graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with BA
degrees in Political Science, American Studies, and Secondary Education. I
attended UNCW for a post graduate degree in Curriculum, Instruction, and
Supervision. I am currently working toward obtaining a National Board
Professional Teaching Certification. I joined the Laney Faculty and Staff in
2002. I believe that every student can learn!
"I entered the classroom with the conviction that it was crucial for me and
every other student to be an active participant, not a passive
consumer...education as the practice of freedom.... education that connects
the will to know with the will to become. Learning is a place where paradise
can be created."
