I was born in Boston, Massachusetts. I spent most of my childhood there until my family moved to Greenville, South Carolina. I attended College of Charleston. I returned to Greenville and began teaching second grade at Blythe. I received my National Boards in Literacy 2008. This is my eighteenth year teaching second grade at Blythe.

When I am not teaching, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, being outdoors, working out, shopping, going to the beach, and watching pro- football.

My husband and I have one little girl. She will be five this October 3rd. Her name is Georgia "Gigi" Richardson. We are in love with her and enjoy watching her grow every day. We also have a cat named Fred.
