I am excited to welcome you back to school for the 2019-2020 school year!   Parents, you are your child's first, best teacher, and I am honored to join you as your child’s teacher for second grade.  It has been a tremendous pleasure to be a member of the staff at LMES for eighteen years.  While at Lake Murray I have taught fifth grade and second grade.  In previous school settings, I have also taught first and third grade. My entire teaching experience spans thirty-five years.  The one thing that I know after spending all of these years in education is that I love to learn, and I love to foster learning in others.

My life away from school is filled with music.  I sing in the adult choir and direct a children’s choir at Union United Methodist Church,  I also sing with the Sandlapper Singers. Music is a big part of my life.

I am a Carolina Gamecock through and through!  My dad coached football at Carolina, my brother played soccer there, and I sang in Carolina Alive.  My son, Christopher, graduated from USC, and I have a dog named Garnet.  Go Gamecocks!  

When I am not working on our classroom, singing or cheering for the Gamecocks, I enjoy crafts and reading.

I am sure that this will be a wonderful year of exciting learning!  I am looking forward to getting to know your child as we move through a great second grade experience!
