For the 2020-21 school year, I will be teaching seventh and eighth-grade Literacy Lab as well as seventh and with grade Academic Enrichment 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 sixth 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.
