I am entering my 24th year in the classroom.  I have taught in Marlboro County, Lexington District 2, and have spent the last 18 years of my career in Lexington Richland District 5.  My teaching experience ranges from Grades 2-8, Chapter 1 Reading and Math, Eighth Grade Language Arts,  as well as Literacy Intervention.  The majority of my teaching career has been spent teaching middle school and 17 of my 24 years have been as a Literacy Intervention teacher.  For the past 12 years I have been a Silver Fox at Dutch Fork Middle School.

I have lived in the Columbia area for the past 21 years.  I married my high school sweetheart and we have been married for 27 years.  We have 2 children, Kirsten, 22, and Drake, 16.
