I grew up in New York on a farm.  I really like animals and plants.  During undergrad at SUNY Plattsburgh, I decided to pursue a degree in Biology and Education.  I ended up graduating with a double major.  I stayed on in Plattsburgh to work and to finish my Masters in Education with a specialization in Administration and Supervision.  While getting my masters I was working as a Lab assistant and decided to do further studies in Molecular Genetics at the University of South Carolina.  In Grad school, I taught numerous classes. I have taught both at USC and Midlands Technical College for many years.   I began teaching at Irmo High in the Fall of 2001.  

This past summer I took a trip to France where I experienced French culture and environment.  I love to travel at home and abroad.
