About Me
It is with great pleasure that I welcome your child to third grade! I am especially excited to by looping from 2nd grade to 3rd grade this year! I look forward to working with you and your child to make this year a great success. I’d like to start off by giving you a little information about me. I have been teaching for 25 years, 22 of those years have been at Fork Shoals! I have also taught 2nd, 4th and 5th grade, as well as students with learning disabilities. As a child, I grew up right here in this community. I went to Ellen Woodside Elementary, Woodmont Middle, and graduated from Woodmont High (Go Wildcats!). I then graduated from The University of South Carolina Upstate. I also have a Masters of Education Degree from Converse College.
I live in Simpsonville with my wonderful husband, Scott and my two boys, Bennett (19) and Noah (17). Bennett will be a Sophmore at Clemson University, and Noah will be a Senior at Woodmont High School, where he also plays football and baseball. We also have four-legged family members that we love very much also, our dogs Sophie and Mav, and our cat Puddles.
When I am not teaching, I love spending time with my family, reading, going for walks, and watching Noah play football and baseball. I also enjoy watching the Atlanta Braves Baseball and college football. Our house is divided now! We are Gamecock fans, but having one at Clemson changes things! I guess I will have to cheer for both!
