About Me

I am a product of the Greenville County School System (Wade Hampton, '82) and from there I went on to the University of South Carolina for my BA (Class of 1985) and my MAT (Class of 1997), both in History. I have been at Hillcrest since 2002 and previously spent one year at Newberry High and three years at Mauldin Middle, as well as substituting at Swansea High and Irmo High while I was in graduate school. I am now certified to teach AP US, World, and European History, AP Government and AP Human Geography, and any Honors classes. I have an abiding love of my subject, which translates into my main hobbies of books, art, music, and travel. My greatest regret is that I waited so long to begin teaching, because now I could not imagine doing anything else. The love of my subject and my interaction with the students are the fuel that keeps me energized.
