At the tender age of 15 the idea of Inspire the Fire captured my heart. I decided to be involved with Inspire the Fire because I wanted to be a part of something FUN, NEW and EXCITING! Again, I was 15 when ITF was envisioned; young, bored, and curious. I was identical to the typical young person we reach today. Twelve years later I am forever inspired by the amount of good a group of teenagers, lead by a teenager, brought and still brings about to generations of youth. I’m a set to obtain my degree in Business Management spring of 2015 at Belmont Abbey College. Most of my work experience is in Corporate America. I developed great skill sets in customer service as well as financial service; however, my love for children and education brought me back to the school system. I am currently an assistant teacher with Charlotte Mecklenburg Schools. I love music, singing and traveling. My favorite destination is anywhere with a large body of water; that is when I am most happy!
