This is my 25th year teaching and 6th year teaching first grade at Lake Forest Elementary. Prior to First grade, I taught kindergarten at Lake Forest. I have also taught 4 year kindergarten and was a reading specialist for students first through 5th grade. 

I grew up in Greenville, SC and am a graduate of Greenville High School. I attended Winthrop University for two years, transferred and graduated from The University of South Carolina. I got a Master's Degree from Converse College in Early Childhood and Elementary Education.

My husband Greg and I have been married for 32 wonderful years.  We have 25 year old twins, Kylie and Griffin. Kylie is a writer and loves to craft and sew.  Griffin is an artist and sculptor. We are so proud of both of them! We have a sweet bunny named Honey! Our newest addition is a very cute and funny kitty named Wally. 

My Favorite Things:

 I love to shop at Nyla Beans gift and clothing shop. I also LOVE any and all thrift shops. My favorite snacks are trail mix, Biscoff cookies, cashews, and anything chocolate! I drink a lot of hot tea and love most flavors.  My favorite hobbies are going to outdoor concerts, dancing, reading, traveling, and spending time with my family. My favorite restaurants are Portofino's, Mexican and anywhere downtown! I just love to shop, eat, and walk our beautiful downtown area! I also love Target and Amazon to buy fun things for our classroom. They have great kid/school items. :-)
