I graduated from Appalachian State University in 1992 with a BS degree in Art Education K-12.  After teaching my first year in Burke County, I returned to Lincoln County, where I have taught for 27 years. I have enjoyed teaching at many schools in Lincoln County, including West Lincoln High School, St. James, G E Massey, S Ray Lowder, and Rock Springs, and now I am happy to be at Norris S. Childers Elementary.
