I am honored to work for School District Five of Lexington and Richland Counties, which is known far and wide for its dedication to excellence, but more importantly, to children. As a graduate of the University of South Carolina, I have been dedicated to the field of education for twelve years. During this time, my experiences include teaching grades three through six, earning National Board Certification, and being recognized as Teacher of the Year. I have Master’s degrees in Elementary Education, Divergent Learning, and Educational Administration. I am currently pursuing a Doctorate in Curriculum and Instruction. I am the mother of a beautiful daughter, who will be entering the 2nd grade this year. We enjoy reading books together and taking long walks with our dog, Fritz.
