I graduate from Central of Lunenburg High School in 1996. I attended
Southside Community College for one year. I was going to major in Biology
and become a Forensic Pathologist. I quickly decided to change gears and
major in my first love, MUSIC! I transfered to Virginia State University,
in Petersburg, Virginia. I graduated from VSU with a Bachelors Degree in
Instrumental Music Education in 2001. My first teaching job was in Richmond
City Public Schools at Thomas Jefferson High School and John B. Cary
Elementary School. I taught there for 5 years. I moved back to my home
town of Victoria. I taught in Lunenburg Public School for 2 years.
I now find my home here at Nottoway Middle and Intermediate Schools.
