About Me
I have lived and worked in Kill Devil Hills for 22 years. I have one child in Dare County Schools at FFMS and a recent graduate of FFHS who is now attending App State. I have been a passionate leader for environmental issues facing our beaches including working to fight against offshore oil drilling for over ten years. I have been teaching preschool age children in Dare County since 2001.
The combination of my love for children, the environment, and our beautiful town is what has inspired me to run for commissioner a second time. I believe that local leaders have a responsibility to put the people and environment first above political and personal interests and I will continue to do just that.
​
I am fair, approachable, and open to new ideas so please feel free to reach out with comments or questions. I would greatly appreciate your vote on November 7th.
