Hello! My name is Haley Adams. I am so happy to be apart of such a great school community at AJ Whittenberg. I love kindergarten and am so happy to be your child's K5 teacher! I graduated from USC Upstate with a degree in Corporate Fitness and worked in the health and wellness industry for 8 years. I decided to make a career change and become a teacher! This is my 9th year teaching and I absolutely love it. I have a wonderful family that I love to travel and enjoy life with. I am still very active in the health and wellness world and love to run and workout. I am so excited to watch your child grow as learners!
