Join me in welcoming Nicole Edwards RN! Nicole will work alongside Nurse Marcie for the rest of the semester, and beginning in the Spring Semester, she'll be the primary nurse assigned to work at McNair Middle School. Marcie will continue to support McNair on some days in the Spring but will also float to other schools throughout the district. From Nicole:

Prior to here, I worked at Washington regional for the past 15+ years. I started right out of nursing school working in the Labor and Delivery unit and later cross-trained in the NICU as well. I enjoyed my time there. Bringing little miracles into the world is an incredible feeling. I then transitioned to the OBGYN clinic in 2015, where I worked up until now. During my time, I obtained a wealth of knowledge in the women's health field, ranging from infertility all the way to menopause.

My husband and I have been married for 11 years, and have been together for a total of 20 years! We have 3 beautiful children who keep life interesting and busy. I have two boys, Karter who is in 5th grade and Kai who is in 2nd grade. As well as, one daughter, Nylah, who is in pre-k at Cadence academy. You will most likely catch us on a baseball field or in a basketball gym, as our kiddos are very active in sports. I enjoy being outdoors, walking, reading, going to the beach, and spending time with my family.

I am so excited to get to know everyone and to start working at McNair.

Hello McNair Middle School! My name is Jamey Cochran, and I am excited to be joining you as the SLS teacher. I was born and raised in Northeast Texas, but I have been living in Northwest Arkansas longer than I lived in Texas now.

I have a bachelor’s degree in psychology from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County and a master’s degree in counseling from the University of Arkansas. I have over 20 years of experience in education. I have worked as a special education teacher, 4th grade teacher, school counselor, and behavior interventionist. Before coming to Fayetteville, I worked in the Springdale and Elkins school districts. I have also worked at public schools in Texas and Vermont.

I live with my husband, son, and daughter just outside of Goshen. I love going to Razorback games and spending time outdoors. I stay busy going to my son’s football games and wrestling tournaments and my daughter’s XC meets and volleyball games. I also love to garden in my free time.

I look forward to meeting everyone!
