I joined the dental hygiene teaching staff at Fayetteville Technical Community College in 2018. Prior to the start of my teaching career, I worked 13 years, full time, as a Pediatric Dental Hygienist. I am a graduate of FTCC's dental hygiene program where I earned an Associate Degree in Applied Science; at FTCC, I also earned an Associates Degree in Art, as well as General Education. I am also a graduate of the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, where I majored in Public Health. My most recent academic accomplishment is graduating from the University of Phoenix where I earned a Master of Health Administration Degree. I currently live in Lumberton, North Carolina with my husband Brad, and my two youngest children (Emma, 17 and Jayce, 2). In my spare time you can find me... well, now that I think of it, I question what spare time is. Then I am brought to the realization that I have a 2 year old (my pride and joy, the baby of the bunch), and everyone knows there is no spare time with a toddler in the home! However, I was once an avid reader and plan to pick up a Novel, real soon!
