About Me

Sparked by my love for reading almost anything on the printed page and helping classmates with their work, my early desire to be a nurse like Julia Baker (Diahann Carroll) was soon replaced by the dream of becoming an English teacher. That dream became reality almost three decades ago. As a Gamecock with a Bachelor of Science and Masters in English Education, I have taught 9th through 12th grade English at Mauldin High for almost 28 years, where I enjoy watching students develop confidence while honing their skills.

My husband and I live in Mauldin and have 2 adult children who graduated from MHS. We are also proud grandparents, which reminds me that for a number of years now I have been teaching the children of former students. I have always been excited when these parents emailed me or stopped in to chat with me during past Open Houses.

When at home relaxing, I can often be found in the sun room or the back yard reading or gardening, while enjoying nature .
