This is my 12th year teaching at North Elementary and will be my ninth year teaching first grade! I graduated from the University of South Carolina with a Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education and received my Masters of Education in Teaching with a specialty in Literacy and Reading from USC. I live in Lancaster with my husband, Justin, our two daughters, Ella Catherine and Eliza, and our dog, Zoe. When I am not teaching, I enjoy spending time with my family and close friends. I also enjoy reading, spending time outdoors, crafting, going to movies, and watching football. Go Gamecocks!
