Welcome to Kindergarten!!
Teaching is an absolute passion of mine! I am so excited to work with you and your child. It is going to be a year full of fun, learning, and lots of adventures, and I can’t wait to see what the year has in store for us! I thought you might like to know a little bit about me.
I am married to my wonderful husband, Chad. We have twin daughters (Tatum Olivia & Hayden Grace) who are in eighth grade this year. They take up most of my free time. My family loves being outside and going to the beach & lake together.
I have lived in Greenville all of my life. I went to Travelers Rest High School and graduated from Lander University in 2006. I earned my Master’s degree in Education at Southern Wesleyan University in 2009.
This is my 19th year teaching at Gateway Elementary, and my third year in kindergarten. I absolutely love teaching! It is my mission to instill a love for learning in my students. I attempt to teach with a passion for my subjects so that my students develop a desire to become lifelong learners. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. It is so important to keep communication open between us, and I would love to talk to you whenever you feel that need! I look forward to a great year together!
