About me

I am currently serving as the Vice President of Communications for the Georgia School Public Relations Association (GSPRA). I am also an active Cabinet member for the United Way of the CSRA. I have worked in the Burke County School System for 22 years. I began my career at Waynesboro Primary School as an Administrative Assistant and Technology Support Technician. I assumed my new duties as Public Information Officer in 2007. From the days of being an anchor for Burke County High School's morning broadcast, I have enjoyed communicating with the stakeholders of Burke County about the happenings at our wonderful schools!
