Meet the Media Coordinator
I am very excited to share that I will be serving as the EHMS Media Coordinator for the 2025-2026 school year! After twenty years in the regular classroom, I believe this transition is a perfect fit for me.
I graduated from Fayetteville State University in 2005 with a BS in Elementary Education (K-6) and went on to earn my Master's in Education from the same institution in 2014. This year marks my 21st in education and my first year in the role of Media Coordinator. To further enhance my skills, I plan to enroll this Spring to pursue a Master's Degree in Library Science. I spent the first five years of my teaching career in Cumberland County Schools and have spent the last 16 years with Hoke County Schools. I’m looking forward to this new chapter and am eager to support our students and staff in meaningful ways! Thank you all for your continued support!
