I moved to Greenville, SC from Asheville, NC nine years ago. I graduated from Mars Hill University with my undergraduate degree in early and elementary education and completed my master’s degree through Walden University specializing in reading and literacy.
I have previously taught third and fourth grade, this will be my eleventh year in the classroom. Fifth grade is my favorite grade to teach! I truly love being in the classroom and teaching young minds, it is my home away from home.
I have been with my husband for 18 years and we have two wonderful children together. We also two dogs, and a calico cat! We like to do any outdoor adventures including camping, hiking, and swimming! We also love family movie nights! A few of my favorite things are coffee, sushi, working out and getting pedicures!
