I am honored to continue serving students at Lake Murray Elementary school this 2019-20 school year.  This is my 12th year in education and my 8th year as an elementary school counselor. I started my career as a kindergarten teacher in Jackson, GA before moving to the district to teach at Harbison West Elementary School.  After two years in the classroom at HWES, I moved into the counseling position.  I am extremely excited to have the opportunity to work with the students, families, and faculty at Lake Murray Elementary.

When I am away from school, I enjoy spending time with my husband, David, and our two daughters, Amelia and Adalyn. I also enjoy sewing, trying to squeeze in time at Crossfit Rivalry, reading, and bible art journaling.

I am currently the counselor working with the following grades/teachers:

* Kindergarten

* Second Grade 

* Third Grade Classes: Ward, A. Zeigler, Taylor, Letourneau, Starkey, Wheeler

I am excited to start the 2019-2020 school year! This is my 18th year as a school counselor. I have spent my first 16 years as the school counselor at Forest Lake Elementary School in Richland School District Two. 

When I am away from school,  I enjoy spending time with my husband, Taylor, and our two sons, Jack and William. My boys keep me busy with their love of all things sports! Most weekends you can find us on some sort of sports field from football to basketball to baseball. I also enjoy traveling and cheering on my Carolina Gamecocks!

I am looking forward to working with all the wonderful students and families at LMES!

I am currently the counselor working with the following grade levels:

First Grade

Third Grade Classes: Stauffer, Kyzer, Summers and Wendt

Fourth Grade
