I was born in West Virginia, but moved to South Carolina in the 3rd grade. I have 2 sisters, 4 nephews, and 4 nieces. I attended Lander University on a Softball Scholarship. I graduated with a Bachelors of Science with a emphasis in Physical Education. I completed my certification in Special Education after I had begun my teaching career. I have been teaching Special Education for 16 years at Mauldin Middle and this is my third year at Southside High. I have coached softball, basketball, and volleyball at the varsity, JV, and middle school levels.
