I have lived in Cabarrus County for over half my life. My family moved to Cabarrus County when I was a teenager and I graduated from Central Cabarrus High (Go Vikings!) I earned both my Undergraduate and Master’s Degrees from Western Carolina University (Go Catamounts!). Outside of school I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. I am an avid reader and enjoy live music, gardening, cooking and walking my two sweet dogs. Traveling to the beach and mountains are on my list of favorite things to do.

As the Principal of A.T. Allen Elementary I would like to welcome all of you to our webpage and our fantastic school. We have an excellent staff committed to excelling in our work of teaching children. I began my career in education 16 years ago at Weddington Hills Elementary, where I taught for 9 years. I have served as an administrator in Cabarrus County Schools for the last 7 years and am honored to be the Principal at A.T. Allen. I look forward to working with each of you to make A.T. Allen a great place for our students to learn and grow.

Welcome! I am excited to be a part of the AT Allen family as the Assistant Principal of Instruction. Prior to joining the AT Allen Elementary staff, I was Assistant Principal at C.C. Griffin Middle School for 2 years and taught 3rd & 4rd grade in Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools. I earned a B.A. Degree in Elementary Education from UNC-Charlotte and Master's in School Administration from UNC-Charlotte. As a NC Principal Fellow, I completed a full time principal internship at Concord Middle School during the 2013-2014 school year.

I am originally from Gainesville, Florida and moved to North Carolina during my 7th grade year in school. During my free time, I enjoy watching a variety of sports and have a passion for coaching. I enjoy playing volleyball and basketball as much as possible. I look forward to working with our staff, students, and families this during the 2017-2018 school year!

Welcome to AT Allen Elementary! I am pleased to be a part of the Cardinal family and look forward to working with you. This is my 27^th year in education with 10 of those years teaching 3^rd and 4^th grades. I am originally from Texas but have also worked in Oklahoma and Georgia before coming to North Carolina. I started working in CCS in 2014 where I served as principal at Winecoff Elementary for 2 ½ years. I earned my B.A. degree in elementary education from East Texas State University and my master degree in education administration from Texas A &M University-Commerce. When not at school, I enjoy cooking, reading on my front porch, and watching my son play basketball. We also enjoy spending time as a family in the mountains near West Jefferson, NC.
