Hello!

I have been teaching in South Carolina for the past 27 years.  I received my undergraduate degree from Eastern Michigan University and a Masters degree from the University of South Carolina.  My degrees are in Special Education, Elementary Education and Social Work.  I have been certified as a National Board Middle Childhood Generalist since 2002.  Additionally, I have completed Reading Recovery training and practice through Clemson University.  

I am currently a 2nd grade teacher at Oak Pointe Elementary.  My mission is help my students love to learn and grow in all areas.  I am looking forward to a wonderful school year this year.
