After study at UNC-Chapel Hill, she taught in Durham and her hometown of Concord, NC, and was a Fulbright Exchange Teacher on the island of Cyprus. She has pursued further studies at The American School of Classical Studies in Athens, The Athens Centre, and The American Academy in Rome; in a Fulbright Summer Seminar in Morocco; and in National Endowment for the Humanities seminars in Siena, Italy, and on the Greek island of Spetses. In 2010 she was awarded NCSSM’s Outstanding Teacher Award and in 2012 was awarded the UNC Board of Governors Award for Excellence in Teaching.
