I started working at the Council in 2005 and currently serve as the Health Education Supervisor. I graduated from East Carolina University with a bachelor’s degree in Psychology in 1996. I believe COA is an amazing organization and am proud of the interactions, opportunities and education that we can provide for students in Catawba County. I am happily married with two amazing daughters. In my spare time, I enjoy being outside hiking, running and spending time with my family. If you need help with scheduling or have any questions about our in school programs, please do not hesitate to contact me.
