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 15 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 and is currently a senior at Columbia College. I have a son attending 3rd grade at Oak Pointe Elementary and a daughter in 5th grade here at CIS! I stay very busy attending their extracurricular activities, traveling, and watching the Gamecocks!
