The 2023-2024 school year begins my thirty-fifth year teaching middle school math.   I spent the first thirty-three years of my career teaching 8th grade math and algebra at Belton Middle School in Anderson District 2.  I earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Secondary Education from Clemson University and a Masters degree in Middle School mathematics from Walden University. My husband, Ted, and I celebrated our 30th anniversary this summer. We have five children:  Ted Jr., Margaret, Caroline, Will and our new daughter-in-law Jordan.  I enjoy being being outside, fishing, the beach or lake, and cherish anything involving my family.  

I love teaching! I love math! I feel that I have been called to be a teacher! I am so excited to be part of the Southwood family and look forward to working together this school year.
