I was working to pay for my college education when I entered the travel industry in the 1980s.  I enjoyed working with people from all nations and traveling to beautiful destinations.  With the start of the internet and decline in travel sales, I decided to revisit my original goal of working with children.

I had majored in child psychology but decided to work with children in the educational setting.  I returned to Old Dominion University to obtain my master's degree in early childhood education.  I greatly enjoy working with the Onslow County Schools, community, parents, and children.
