I knew from an early age that I wanted to work with children. I graduated from Southern Wesleyan University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology.  In 2002, I completed my Masters of Education degree from Clemson University in Counseling Education.   In 2012, I received my Certification in School Counseling from Clemson University.  I received my certification as a CDF aka Career Development Facilitator through the Greenville County School District.

Before I earned my Certification in School Counseling, I worked at Stone Academy for five years as a Parent Educator for the Parents as Teachers program. I was a School Counselor at Riverside Middle School for two years before coming back to Stone Academy as the School Counselor.  I am beyond excited to be in this role and feel fortunate to come back to Stone for my 12th year, so that I can continue my career at the school that I love. I am married to JW Howard and we have 2 children, Madison and Jackson. They attended and love Stone Academy as well.  I love spending time with family/friends on the lake or at the beach and of course, cheering for my Clemson Tigers!
