My background in Geography includes both undergraduate work and a master’s degree in Geography from Marshall University in Huntington, West Virginia. I am active in the South Carolina Geographic Alliance and the National Geographic Society.  The past four summers, I have attended James Madison University in Virginia studying methods of introducing geographic information systems and global positioning systems in the classroom.  

  This is my 21st  year of teaching.  Previously, I taught middle school social studies and special education.  The emotionally disabled student is my specialty in within special education.  In addition, I taught an undergraduate World Geography class at Greenville Tech’s Greer Campus at night and for the past five years, a master’s level geography night class for Converse College in Spartanburg.  I have had an article published in the professional geographic journal FOCUS and in 2001 and  the governor of Kentucky commissioned me to the Honorable Order of Kentucky Colonels, the highest honor the state can bestow.
