This is my twenty-second year as a school librarian and my twelfth year at Wade Hampton. I have lived in Greenville most of my life and graduated from J.L. Mann High School. I earned both my undergraduate degree in English and my Master of Library and Information Science from the University of South Carolina. I am certified to teach in the library for K-12. I am married to Mr. Fansher, whom I met on our first day of college, and I have a really cute dog named Millie.
