I am one of 3 counselors at Rocky Mount High School (RMHS). As a native of Rocky Mount, NC, and a graduate of RMSH, it is now a pay-it-forward opportunity through working with students in multiple capacities (educator, counselor, swim coach, cheerleader coach, and softball assistant coach).  My first years working with Nash-Rocky Mount Schools were spent at Tar River Academy where I taught Social Studies at the Middle School level.  Being in the classroom may not be a pre-requisite to the work of a counselor, however, that experience reaffirmed that education is not a one-size fits all case.  I received a BS degree in Parks Recreation and Tourism Management with a concentration in Sports Management and completed the NC Teach program at North Carolina State University (NCSU-GO PACK!). I received a Master’s Degree in School Counseling from Liberty University. 

I am originally from New Jersey but moved to North Carolina in the 3rd grade.  I grew up in the Greensboro area, where most of my family still lives.  I began college at Campbell University, transferred to UNC-Greensboro and received a BA in Psychology.  I worked in an inpatient psychiatric hospital setting for some time, and later returned to UNC-Greensboro for an MEd in Counseling and Educational Development.  I am a National Certified Counselor through the National Board of Certified Counselors and have been a member of the International Alliance for Invitational Education since 1994.  I have been a School Counselor at Rocky Mount High School for over 20 years, and I really care about all of our students I try to help them through all kinds of situations, offering genuine concern, informational resources, connections to organizations, and sometimes just someone with whom students can talk and trust.

I was born and raised in Rocky Mount, North Carolina. I graduated from Rocky Mount Senior High School…Go Gryphons! I furthered my education at North Carolina A&T State University, where I received my Bachelor of Science Degree in Business Education and Information Technology. I went on to receive a Masters Degree in School Counseling from Capella University. I have been working in the School Counseling profession since 2017. I became a School Counselor because I wanted to make a difference in the lives of young people.

I was born and raised in Nashville, NC, and graduated from Northern Nash High School. I attended East Carolina University where I received an undergraduate degree in Social Work and a graduate degree in Counselor Education. I have worked in the human services field for over 20 years.  In addition to being a School Social Worker, I am also a Licensed Professional Counselor with experience in the private practice setting.
