About Me

This is my eighth year as a Wade Hampton General.  In the past eighteen years I have taught Biology, Chemistry, Zoology, Environmental Studies, Integrated Science, AP Chemistry, and AP Environmental Science.  We moved here several years ago from outside Savannah, GA and really enjoy Upstate life!  

I met my husband Josh when we were attending Auburn University (War Eagle!)  I have a B.S. in Zoology with an emphasis on conservation and biodiversity and a Master's in Secondary Science Education.  Josh and I have two children, one who attends Wade and one attending League Academy.  

In my free time I like being outdoors; running, bird-watching, horseback riding, and watching soccer.  I like to read, play trivia, and spend time with family and friends.  My daughter and I ride horses and we have a kitty named Muenster.
