I was raised in the small town of Berea, located in eastern Kentucky.  I moved to South Carolina in the 3rd grade and eventually graduated from Berea High School in 2001.  After high school I attended the University of South Carolina where I majored in Biology and minored in Anthropology.  In 2011 I received my master's degree in Biology from the University of Nebraska at Kearney.  This is my 17th year teaching and my 1st year at Greer.  I have an amazing husband, wonderful bonus son, and beautiful daughter.  In my free time I enjoy taking classes, traveling, listening to live music, and watching horror movies.  I look forward to working with you and your student this year.
