Hello Fabulous Fifth Graders!  I am thrilled to have the opportunity to teach your precious kiddos this year. I am entering my 15th year in teaching after having the privilege of staying at home with my children when they were young. Previously, I taught 5th grade AGP math and science for 7 years at Chapin Intermediate school.  Throughout my teaching career, I have had the opportunity to work with a multitude of age groups from preschool through 5th grade. Over the years, I have fallen in love with 10-11 year olds as they are still eager to learn yet they have the ability to critically think and work independently. My students quickly become like one of my own from the minute they step foot into my classroom.

• I graduated from College of Charleston with my degree in elementary education.

• I enjoy reading, being on the lake, shopping, outdoor family activities, and spending time with my friends and family and am an avid Gamecock fan! Go GAMECOCKS! 

I encourage you to communicate any concerns you may have about your child at any time.  A student’s success is greatly improved when we have a strong connection between home and school.   I am looking forward to a fabulous 2022-23 school year!

I will do my best to keep my Google site updated so you can stay up to date on what we are working on here at school.
