Hello, Bullpups! I am excited to welcome all of my new students to the "Room 51 Class Family" where we will work together as "One family with many stories," which is this year's school theme. I recognize that each student brings special strengths and talents into our room.  We will work together to focus on academic achievement, student leadership, family engagement, and morale.  I can't wait to watch everyone shine.

I was born and raised in a small town in Virginia.  The Army brought us to South Carolina where my husband, Geoff, retired after 28 years of service.  I received my Bachelor of Science degree in Middle School Education from Virginia Tech and a Master's Degree in Elementary Education from Western Governors University. I have taught upper elementary grades in multiple states and districts.  

Geoff and I have 3 children. Madison and our son-in-law Andrew serve with the Space Force and will be moving to Denver, Colorado soon.  Our son Davis graduated from The Citadel and is planning on attending medical school. Finally, our youngest son, Jackson, will be a junior at The Citadel in the fall, studying nursing.  We have two "fur babies" at home to help fill our empty nest, named Tybee and Bowen.

I love the Pine Tree Hill Bullpup Family and am excited about starting the 2022-2023 school year!
