After graduating from Irmo High School, I attended the University of South Carolina where I obtained certification in Early Childhood and Elementary Education.   I earned my Masters Degree at Walden University and completed National Boards Certification in Literacy in 2006 and 2016.  I have taught Pre-K through 4th grade in sequential order!

The BEST years of my teaching experience have been working alongside the talented staff at River Springs Elementary from 2002-2020 and then transitioning to FIVE to teach virtually in 3rd and 4th grade.  The greatest gift that I can give to my students is to model that learning is a lifelong process. 

During my free time, I enjoy living the country life in Newberry, SC, traveling with my husband, and spending time with my adult children and 4 grandchildren.
