I was born and raised in West Palm Beach, Florida and most of my family still lives there. I attended the University of Tennessee, the University of Cincinnati, and Georgia State University. My boys and I moved to Greenville 8 years ago from Atlanta, Georgia. This is my fourth year teaching 5th grade at Ellen Woodside.

In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family, friends, and pets. I enjoy reading a wide variety of books, but mysteries are my favorite. I love grooming our horses and messing around in my garden. We visit my family in West Palm Beach frequently, so I also really like the beach.  

I am mom to two amazing boys, Luke and Matt. Luke is beginning his freshman year at Greenville Tech and Matt is in 11th grade at Woodmont High School. We live down a dirt road on 6 acres in Pelzer.  We like to rescue animals, so our pets outnumber us. We have a German Shepherd (Copper), three cats (Shadow, Raven, and Journey), 2 horses (Beau and Duke), and 9 chickens (they don't have names). We also have a sugar glider named Steve.
