I began teaching in 2001 with a Master's Degree from USC. A few years later, I received National Board Certification and Gifted & Talented endorsement. I have one year of experience at an online virtual school, fostering my love of technology, and 17 years of teaching in District 5. I have taught all 4 major subjects, but Math and Science continue to be my passion.

At home, I have 3 amazing children. My oldest daughter graduated from Dutch Fork High, then Columbia College with an accounting degree. I have another daughter attending 8th grade at Chapin Middle School who enjoys cheerleading. My son, an avid sports fan, attends 6th grade here at CIS! I stay busy with their extracurricular activities, traveling, and watching everything Gamecocks!
