I am a 7th-grade Social Studies teacher at Cochrane Collegiate Academy in Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools and an edTPA Secondary History Tutor supporting residency teachers. A graduate of North Carolina Central University with a B.A. in Political Science and History, I am currently completing my Master of Public Administration in Urban Management & Policy at UNC Charlotte. With experience spanning middle grades instruction, community advocacy, and county-level intergovernmental affairs, I bring a practitioner-centered perspective to education policy analysis, resource equity, and teacher workforce sustainability.
