Teaching has always been one of my greatest passions. I truly enjoy working with students and watching them grow into confident, lifelong learners. My teaching journey began with a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education from Clemson University. I started my career in a 3rd grade classroom and have since taught 4th, 5th, and 6th grades. As my career progressed, I pursued a Master’s Degree in Guidance and Counseling, also from Clemson.

For the past 23 years, I’ve had the privilege of serving as an Instructional Coach with Greenville County Schools. I’m thrilled to now be a part of the Fountain Inn Elementary team in this same role, and I look forward to an exciting and successful school year ahead!

Outside of education, family is my greatest joy. My husband, Tony, and I have been happily married for 35 years. We’re proud parents of three wonderful sons. Austin is a full-time firefighter/EMT with a heart for helping others. Collin works in bioengineering research and enjoys spending his free time hunting. Our youngest, Brayden, is a recent Construction Science and Management graduate from Clemson and is working his dream job in the field! 

As a family, we love spending time together—whether it's lake weekends, beach trips each summer, or cheering on the Tigers during football season. Go Tigers!
