91¸£Àûµ¼º½

Before coming to UNM in 2013, I taught at universities in North Carolina, South Carolina, Texas, Florida, and Pennsylvania. I have been teaching for over twenty years and still love it as much today as I did the first day I started teaching in 1990.

Prior to entering the education profession, I worked 9 years at a "Kroger Sav-On" grocery store in North Carolina. My experiences working in retail taught me a great deal about patience.

As for my teaching experience, I was an elementary teacher in Wilmington, North Carolina, where I taught 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades. After leaving the elementary education profession, I became a professor of early childhood/elementary education.

I received my B.A. and M.Ed. degrees from the University of North Carolina at Wilmington, a M.A. degree in Educational Leadership from New 91¸£Àûµ¼º½ State University, and received my Ph.D. from the University of South Carolina.

Having only taught primarily in the South prior to 2009, it has been an adjustment living in NM. I love living here and am so very proud to call Gallup my home!
