A bit about me…

 

I am a native of Troy, North Carolina.  If you look at a map of North Carolina, you will see that Troy (Montgomery County) sits in the middle of the state.

 

My interest in writing and reading inspired me to earn a B.S. degree in Secondary English Education at North Carolina A & T State University, Greensboro, NC.  After a long career as a high school English teacher, I continued my education at North Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC; earning two degrees - a Master’s of Education in Educational Leadership and Administration and a Ph.D. in Educational Research and Policy Analysis. 

 

In addition to serving 20 years as an English instructor, I have also enjoyed a long career as a principal /assistant principal for multiple public school districts in North Carolina and South Carolina, as well as Director of Professional Development/Gifted Education Services at the District Office level.  I am also a published author, with three books available through online vendors!

 

I am a single mom/grandmother with a married daughter, a 14 year-old grandchild, and son-in-law, who live in Raleigh, NC.
