About Me

Hello! I am so excited to begin the 2025-2026 school year! This will be my 15th year at Fork Shoals. This year will also be my 17th year teaching fifth grade. Prior to that, I have taught fourth and second grade. Fifth graders are my absolute favorite. This is my 22nd year teaching. 

I am a native to Greenville, SC. I was born and grew up here. I went to Mauldin High School and also went to college in South Carolina. I graduated from the University of South Carolina with a BA degree in Psychology and a Masters degree in Elementary Education. I love cheering for the Gamecocks!

I am married to a wonderful man named Dan Johnson. This year, we will celebrate our 14th wedding anniversary on Oct. 15th. When I am not teaching, I enjoy traveling with my husband, reading, cooking, and spending time with my family.  Dan and I have four children, Jacob, Chris, Maddie, and Sean. Jacob is in 12th grade at JL Mann High School and Chris is in 10th grade at JL Mann High School, Maddie is in 5th grade and Sean is in 4th grade. They both go to school here with me at Fork Shoals. 

Although I love traveling to and visiting new places, my favorite place of all is Greenville, SC. There is no other place I'd rather be. My most favorite things to do are teaching and learning.
