I was born, raised, and attended schools in Kershaw County. I am a high school graduate of Lugoff Elgin High School. After high school, I went and graduated from South Carolina State University. This will be my 22nd year of teaching Physical Education.  I have taught 6 years in the high school and sixteen years in the elementary school. I have been teaching at Jackson School for the past 14 years.  My philosophy of teaching is that educating children with activities that will provide them with the skills and knowledge they need to live a healthy and active lifestyle is the key to a bright future and a healthy life.
