I have been a middle and elementary school educator for 27 years. Fifteen of those years have been spent teaching English/language arts to middle school students in Kershaw County. My husband, Robert, teaches English at Lugoff-Elgin High School. As a graduate of the University of South Carolina, I'm a huge Gamecock fan and love college football. Our daughter, Ashley, lives in Atlanta, so our dog, DeeDee, is the center of attention in our home. My interests are decorating, shopping, and spending time on the lake. I also enjoy reading and watching mysteries.
