I began my teaching career in Georgia, but moved back home to SC in 2005.  This is my 30th year teaching and I’ve taught every grade from kindergarten to fifth grade. In addition, I am certified in and have taught the gifted program.  I am the proud mother of three grown children and GiGi to two grandchildren.  Candace, my oldest daughter, has a degree in accounting, but is presently a stay-at-home mom and wife.  Her child Gryphon is in first grade this year.  My son Jeremy and his wife are teachers and live in Augusta, Georgia and were recently blessed with their first child, Marlee.  My youngest child, Chelsea, recently married and teaches second grade at Wateree Elementary.  I enjoy walking, kayaking, and observing nature.  I’m a lifelong learner and a dedicated teacher. I’m excited to learn with your child and to be their guide as they meet their full potential in the classroom.
