I was born and raised in Raleigh, North Carolina, attended Conn Elementary School, Oberlin Middle School, and graduated from Broughton High School. I am a graduated of Winston-Salem State University with a Bachelor's of Arts degree in English. I have a son named Kolby, who is seventeen years old and a high school senior. In my spare time I like to run, read, and relax while watching a movie, show or series. This is my twenty-first year of teaching at Martin Middle School.
