Mrs. Edwards's Bio

In 2003, I graduated Magna Cum Laude and with Honors from Meredith College with a BA in English and licensure to teach Secondary English.  While at Meredith, I was a North Carolina Teaching Fellow.  After graduation, I began teaching English at my alma mater, West Craven High School.

I spent a little over three years in the classroom before accepting a position as a copy editor/proofreader at a local advertising agency.  When the agency moved to Raleigh, I chose to return to public education and worked as a high school testing coordinator for six years - until CCS eliminated full-time test coordinator positions.

Here at Craven Early College, I am the College Readiness & Partnership Coordinator.  I serve as the school's college liaison, advisor for 4th-year seniors, and test coordinator.  I am happy to have become a part of the team at CEC and enjoy the work that I get to do here.  To me, student success is the most rewarding aspect of my job, and personalization of education, along with student accountability, is one of the best ways to help students learn and grow.  My goal is to help students reach their potential and graduate ready for the next steps in their lives - and ready to make a positive contribution to the world!

Outside of school, my husband and our son make up my world.  Our son is an awesome 11-year-old who keeps us both busy and entertained!  I love spending as much time as possible with my family.  Wellness is very important to me, so you'll often hear me encouraging my family, friends, students, and complete strangers to get enough sleep, eat whole foods, drink tons of water, take quality supplements, reduce their use of chemicals/toxins, and be active/get outside! I enjoy a wide variety of music (preferably live), reading, going to the mountains and/or beach, and college sports.
