It's great to be back at Greenville High for another exciting year! 

I enjoy photography, writing, reading, editing, bicycling, baking bread, antiques, dancing, live music, Broadway shows, and travel. Additionally, I recycle, garden, support local and organic foods, and advocate for animal rescue.  I am an avid supporter of the arts, the Swamp Rabbit Trail, downtown Greenville, and Clemson University. As downtown dwellers, my family and I are foodies, often exploring local eateries, concocting new recipes, and baking organic cookies for both people and dogs. 

A Greenville native and lifelong resident, I am proud to be a 4th generation Red Raider alumna and to follow in my family's footsteps in education and community involvement.
