About Me

Greetings!

My name is Brittany Portwood and I'm so excited to be your child's fourth grade teacher! This is my eleventh year as a public school educator and my third year at Oakview. I graduated with a B.S. in Elementary Education from the University of South Florida in 2011.  After graduation, my husband and I moved across the world to China, where we taught English to students of all ages. When we returned home, I taught  2nd and 3rd-grade students in Orlando, Florida, for four years. Since moving to South Carolina in 2017, I have taught 3rd, 4th, and 5th-grade students. I am a recent graduate from Clemson's M.Ed program in Educational Leadership. In my free time, I can be found reading, cooking, or taking family hikes with my husband and one-year-old daughter.
