I am so excited to be back at school for the 2021-2022 school year. North Lincoln Middle School has a strong history of academic excellence with dedicated teachers, amazing students, and a supportive community. It is my honor to serve as your principal. Prior to becoming principal at NLMS, I served as Assistant Principal at Iron Station Elementary and West Lincoln Middle School. I taught math and science at East Lincoln Middle for 10 years. I have an undergraduate degree from UNC-Charlotte in Middle Grades Education with concentrations in mathematics, science, and social studies. I earned my Master's degree in Academically Gifted Education from UNC-Charlotte, Administrative licensure from Appalachian State University, and an Ed.S in Educational Leadership from ASU. Nelson Mandela said that "Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world". My goal is to always be a life-long learner, challenging myself to grow and learn new things.
