Nancy Wood, Teacher Assistant 3's Class

My husband of 22 yrs., myself and our three children came to North Carolina in 1999.  We were raised in Michigan where I graduated from the Academy of Court Reporting. My husband has been with the same company for 32 years.  Due to his extensive traveling, we found it important and necessary for me to become a “stay at home mom”.  Upon my returning to the work force I am now a Shift Lead Manager for an AMF Corporation Center.  By being home with my children I was able to participate within the school system often and regularly. Now that my children are beyond elementary age, I find the chance to once again participate in the help and encouragement of “little ones” at Trinity Presbyterian.
