With 24 years of experience, I am passionate about equipping students with essential life skills that will empower them both personally and professionally. My goal is to create a dynamic hands-on learning environment where students can become college and/or career ready.

I am originally from Baltimore, Maryland. I came to South Carolina to attend Winthrop University and graduated in 2000 with a degree in Early Childhood. I started teaching in Fort Mill that fall. I taught first grade for 16 years at Fort Mill Primary and then Riverview Elementary. In 2016 I came to Fort Mill High to teach the 4-year-old lab school. This was my dream job and still is 9 years later. I also have my Masters Degree in Elementary Education and my National Board certification in Early Childhood. My favorite part of teaching is reading aloud to our sweet 4 year olds. I also love our field trip adventures. I have 2 daughters. Olivia is a Freshman at Ole Miss and Maggie is a Freshman at Fort Mill High. When I’m not teaching I love reading and spending time with my family and our dog Wrigley.
