My career started out in 1995 as a full time aide in the Rowan Co. system where I taught Calculus and Chemistry to a visually impaired student.  In 1996 I was hired for my first teaching job at Bath Co. Middle School where I taught mathematics for four years, while there I served on the SBDM council, and coached the football team for 1 year.  My journey then continued to Ashland/Paul Blazer High School where I taught physical science and then Montgomery Co. High School where I taught Chemistry.  Finally in 2003, I was able to come home to West Carter High School, where I graduated, during my tenure here at West I have had many roles:  teaching various mathematics and science courses; coaching girls golf, math academics, announcing and keeping statistics for baseball, science academics, announcing and videoing for the football team and serving on the SBDM council.  This year I start my newest role as a Guidance Counselor, which is the primary reason I went into the education field.  I am excited about my new role and looking forward to serving the students of West Carter in my new capacity.
