Personal Biography:
I have lived in the Lugoff-Elgin area since I was in the sixth grade and I graduated from Lugoff-ELgin High School. I’m happy to be teaching in my “hometown”. I was originally born in Apopka, Florida but have lived in South Carolina since I was just a toddler and am proud to call this state home. I have one son, Jacob, who is now an LEHS and a Clemson alumnus. My husband, Jerry, works at the Riverbanks Zoo in horticulture (plants). We love spending quality time gardening, swimming, camping and reading.
Teaching Biography:
I have been teaching for 25+ years, over 20 of which have been here in Kershaw County. My first two years I taught in Sumter District Two at Oakland Primary School (behind Shaw Air Force Base). My first two years I taught first grade, and since then I've been in third grade (at Stover and Doby’s Mill).
Education Mission:
I believe every child can learn (at their own pace). I present a caring, inviting, loving, organized environment to foster the social, emotional, and educational growth of your child.
