BIOGRAPHY
I arrived in the SHAPE community in July of 2020, accompanying my husband while he continues his military service. Currently I am working at the SHAPE Child Development Center as a Supervisory Program Specialist. Prior to our arrival, I was a Principal Resident at Innovation Academy and West Smithfield Elementary School in Johnston County, North Carolina. I was with Johnston County Public Schools for six years. I have taught kindergarten and second grade at Polenta Elementary school. Previously, I was fortunate to serve overseas in Italy as an elementary school teacher with the Department of Defense Education Activity-Europe (DoDEAE) and as a preschool teacher with the Army’s Child Development Centers. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Early Childhood and Childhood Education with a concentration in Mathematics from Iona College of New Rochelle, New York. I earned my Master of School Administration from North Carolina State University through a cohort with Johnston County Public Schools called the Johnston Principal Leadership Academy in May of 2020.
My family and I currently reside in Lens, Belgium. My husband Shawn is a Sergeant First Class in the United States Army. Together we have three children. Dylan is in North Carolina attending college and Jayden and Sophia are students at the SHAPE American Elementary School.
