I am a born and raised native of the Outer Banks. I graduated from Manteo High School and then continued on to study art at East Carolina University's Art School. I then decieded to study education as well, with hopes of inspiring youth to contuinue to develop the arts in our world today. When I came home and landed at First Flight High School it was a dream come true. The students and staff are amazing and I could not be happier helping nuture these young artists. I am currently a practicing artist with involvement in local shows and galleries. I love color... and I love how my students inspire me just as much as I hopefully do for them.
