I am a product of the Kershaw County School District, and a native of Bethune, SC, where I graduated high school in 1997.  I received my Bachelor of Science Degree in Elementary Education from Francis Marion University in Florence, SC in 2000.  I am currently earning my certification to teach English Language Learners from the University of South Carolina. I have also taught at Dewey L. Carter Elementary and Bethune Elementary.  My teaching experience ranges from 2^{nd -} 5^th grade.

This is my 18th year teaching and my 17th year in Kershaw County.  This year I am looking forward to a new adventure as an ESOL teacher in our district.  I will be serving students at Bethune Elementary, Midway Elementary, North Central Middle School and North Central High School.

I live in Lugoff, SC with my teenage son and our yorkie-poo Roxy!

Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends.  I also enjoys cooking, reading and spending time traveling when I can!  Some of my favorite places to visit are the Charleston area and Asheville, NC.  Visiting new beaches is probably my favorite thing to do in my spare time.
