Welcome to Hickory Ridge High School!  I am so happy to be here with you this year!  I am a Harrisburg native and a product of Cabarrus County schools. I am married and have 2 daughters, Kendall and Addison.  I went to Appalachian State University for a Bachelor's of Science in Health Education and  taught middle school health for 9 years in Cabarrus County.  In 2011 I went to nursing school at Stanly Community College and became a registered nurse.  I worked as a nurse for 4 years, spending time in the Emergency Department, an asthma and allergy clinic, and a post-surgical unit.  I have a true passion for  education and I am so excited to be at Hickory Ridge for my 4th year as a health sciences teacher!
