For the 2018-19 school year, I will be teaching seventh and eighth grade Literacy Lab here at Chapin Middle School.  I am also the sponsor of the wonderful CMS Beta Club.  I earned a Bachelor's of Science Degree in Elementary Education from Winthrop University. Currently I am working on my Literacy Coach Certification. This is my fourth year teaching at CMS. Previously, I taught World Geography and ELA at Irmo Middle School before taking a hiatus to stay at home with my children. I love teaching middle schoolers that reading is knowledge and knowledge is power.  My hobbies include spending time with family and friends, singing, reading, and cooking.
