    • NC Department of Public Instruction

      Feb 2012 - Aug 2017
      Director of External Meetings and Special Projects

      I work with properties (hotels, convention centers and schools) to set up the logistics of meetings for groups from 20 to 4,000 people. I negotiate the contracts to get the best for the money that we have available. I am very prudent and deliberate in not over spending and operating within the guidelines and parameters set forth.I also lead several special projects of the department each year including the all-agency meeting, the ACT award program, the Heritage Calendar writing project (with AT&T), the Teacher of the Year and Principal of the Year Summits (in concert with colleague Yvette Stewart), and many other endeavors.I have an extreme passion for NCDPI and the State Board of Education. Both entities work together to make our public schools stronger for families, thus helping to make North Carolina a better place to live and work. Show less
