I am a graduate of Appalachian State University with a Bachelor's degree in Foods & Nutrition and a Master's Degree in Family & Consumer Sciences(FACS). I am a Registered Dietitian, a Licensed Dietitian Nutritionist and I have worked in the medical field for 20+ years as a Clinical Consultant.  I am ServSafe Certified and a ServSafe Instructor & Registered Proctor.  

I am married with 4 children.  I enjoy spending time with my family, baking, traveling and working out.  Being healthy and modeling a healthy lifestyle is what I strive to achieve.

I'm excited to bring my experiences to the classroom to help prepare both career-ready and college-ready students. I look forward to sharing the many opportunities available in FACS and hope to grow and develop interest in this exciting field. I'm proud to be part of NLHS and look forward to a successful school year!
