Greetings, and welcome to seventh grade ELA Reading! This will be my 12th year teaching public school, with a sixteen-year history of homeschooling. I have also taught Adult Ed and a course or two at Central Carolina.  I grew up in Camden and graduated from Camden High School, but have lived here in Lugoff for twenty-eight years. My husband Creig is a longtime employee in the Maintenance Department of KCSD. We have been married almost 40 years, and have four grown children. I enjoy reading, traveling, hiking, "yardening," canning, cooking, baking, and dancing, among other things. Mostly I love spending time with family and friends!

I am highly qualified in Secondary English and have my B.A. and M.A.T. from the University of South Carolina. Go Gaecocks! I also have my Read to Succeed Endorsement.

It is so awesome to be teaching seventh grade ELA at LEMS! I look forward to meeting all my students and their families!
