I was born and raised in Onslow County.  My roots run deep in this area as my father's family (Jarman Family) has been here since 1711.  I grew up in the Richlands area and graduated from Richlands High School.  I started working with Onslow County Schools as a teacher's assistant.  After graduating from UNCW in 2000, I started teaching.  I also received my master's degree from UNCW and attended ECU in the Administrative Program.
