Professional

The 2023-2024 school year marks my 27th year in education and my 10th year with the Satellite Diploma Program. I received my B.S. in Mathematics with Secondary Certification from Lander University in 1997. I am a former National Board Certified teacher (2005-2015).  I previously taught in Laurens School District 56 (14 years), Newberry County Schools (1 year), and in the South Carolina Public Charter School District (3 years). In addition to teaching math in brick and mortar schools, I have served as an online math instructor, a Milliken TAP Mentor Teacher, and a Graduation Coach. In 2014, I received a M.A. in Professional Counseling from Liberty University. I am also a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina.  I thoroughly enjoy teaching and mentoring the wonderful, diverse population in the Satellite Diploma Program!

Personal

In my spare time, I enjoy shopping, listening to various types/genres of music, attending events at the Peace Center and/or other locations involving theatrical productions, travelling, enjoying nature and spending time with my friends and family. In addition, my husband and I have been therapeutic foster parents since 2018 to beautiful children of all ages.
