Projects: I have directed early childhood programs for 21 years, receiving national accreditation for our program in Black Mountain. I joined the faculty at WWC in fall 2004 to teach early childhood curriculum and to be the WWC liason with Mountain Area Child and Family Center. I appreciate the relationship between the college and MACFC and support the learnings that can take place both for collegiates and little children.
