Teaching is my second career. After being in Business Management for approximately 15 years, where I worked in Office Management, Accounting, Sales, Marketing, Restaurant and Banquet Management, Information Technology, and General Management; I wanted to make a difference with teenagers and their employability and work skills. I was able to use this experience with my Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration to successfully achieved my Post-Bachelor's and Master's Degrees in Business Education.

I started teaching in 2005, at East Lincoln High School in Lincolnton, NC. I taught numerous business courses, as well as coaching their Varsity Softball team for three years before moving back to Buffalo. Since 2008 I have been employed by Buffalo Public Schools.

Upon starting with Buffalo Schools, I worked in the largest business program, at that time, at Bennett High School for seven years where I Supervised the Advanced Entrepreneurship Program; then I transferred to the International Preparatory School at Grover for 2 years; and them accepted a split position between the City Honors School at Fosdick/Masten Park and Frederick Law Olmsted School at Kensington for two years. In the fall of 2019 I accepted a full-time position at FLO where I am able to assist the students with their career research, personal finance, and computer science skills.
