This will be my 41st year of teaching and I know that it will be a great one!    I have taught 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades.   I have a passion for reading and I hope that your child will learn to love books and reading as much as I do.   I am excited about being  partners with you in your child's quest for knowedge.

     I grew up in Columbia and graduated from Irmo High School.  I earned my Bachelor's Degree and Master's Degree from Clemson University.   

     My daughter, Mallory, also graduated  from Clemson University.  She double majored in  Secondary Education and History.  This will be her fourth year of teaching US History at Ridge View High School.

     Some of my favorite things are:  church, traveling, music, movies, spending time with family and friends, attending Clemson football games, and reading.

     Our classroom door is always open, so come and visit as often as you can!
