Recently tagged as a 24/8, I like to get involved in a lot of things - sometimes more than I should. Originially from the mountains of West Virginia, our family lives in one of the fastest growing areas in the United States. Commuting all about the "Triangle" (Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill, NC) keeps me busy as I manage afterschool and summer programs for youth across Wake County. I firmly believe in building partnerships and leveraging resources to maximize benefits while minimizing costs.

By trade, I'm a math teacher. I taught middle school math for 2 years and high school math for 3 years in WV. After moving to North Carolina, I taught high school math for 8 years and university for 3. I love working with 4-H youth development and watching youth realize their potential while helping them build marketable skills that will ensure them future success.

Currently a life coach, I enjoy helping families and youth make plans that will set them up for a successful future.

Not quite finished. . . more later.

I believe, my friend, you were tagged as 25/8 - because you are so much more than 24/7! Do you find this valuable?

Fact is, I thought I would be able to edit posts, but that is apparently not the case. So 25/8 it is!

MORE. . .
So I like to travel, watch movies, work out, be outside, and be with good friends. I'm fairly easy going and like most people. I do believe that everyone has potential to be successful.

Definitely looking forward to meeting and working with all of you wonderful people!
