With great excitement, I greet you as the Assistant Principal of Winstead Avenue Elementary School. I am honored to have the opportunity to help lead a school with such brilliant students, an exceptionally dedicated staff, and a supportive school community. I am a native of Nash County and attended Nash County Public Schools. I received my Early Childhood degree from East Carolina University. I later returned to school to obtain my Elementary education degree. After completion, I furthered my education, acquired a Master's in Elementary Education, and recently earned a Master's in School Administration from Gardner-Webb University. Education has been my passion for seventeen years. I have worked with students ranging in age from Pre-Kindergarten through 2nd grade in various roles; teacher, instructional coach, and multi-classroom leader. I am delighted to bring my skills as an educator and leader to WAVE.

Because the relationships between teachers, administrators, and families are vital to the success of our students and school, I encourage you to be involved with your child's education continuously. I am very fortunate to be part of the WAVE administration team; I look forward to working with you as a partner in education.
