Biography

I started with CCIE in 2022 after a few years in the public-school classroom. Prior to that I graduated from UCF in 2020 with my Master of Arts in Educational Leadership. I worked in First Year Experience with transition programs during my graduate program. Since graduating in the middle of the pandemic I moved to Orange County Public Schools where I worked in a variety of capacities, the most recent teaching 4th grade. Education has always been a calling and I am so excited to be part of the CCIE team helping students achieve their dreams. Presently, I am working on my second master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling. I come from Lenoir, North Carolina where I spent 22 years falling in love with life. I have a fiancé named Francisco and a dog named Ian Theo who is a lab and pitbull mix. Some of my favorite things to do are cruising, kayaking, going to breweries, decorating and swimming! I am a North Carolina Tarheels & UCF Knights fan and college basketball season is my favorite time of year in sports! If you are around, stop by my office I’d love to meet you!
