I have worked for Onslow County Schools as a middle school teacher and a digital learning and teaching facilitator. In 2013 I became the DLTF Coordinator, then in 2019 I became the DLTF Director. I have worked over the past 7 years to implement a 1 to 1 program in grades K-12, support a growing district of 27,000 students, and adapt instruction during 2 hurricanes, and a pandemic. We constantly strive to support engaging instruction for every child, in every classroom, every day.
