Is this too sharp for the house? Do we need covers for the plugs? Locks for the cabinets?

Hi, I'm Carla! Mother, wife, lifelong learner, professional educator, and inspector.

I studied Environmental Health at Western Carolina University and after four magical years in the Great Smoky Mountains, I received my degree and returned to Winston. I married my college sweetheart and after celebrating seven years of marriage, we welcomed our first child.

​I began my career as a Maternal Child Health Educator and I had the wonderful opportunity to teach parents and families about baby safety including safe sleep and car seat safety for several years. In 2013, I became a Registered Environmental Health Specialist (aka a health inspector). Over the course of my public service career, I inspected day care centers, schools, foster homes, group homes, hospitals, some of your favorite restaurants, and much more.
