About Me

Hello! I am so excited to begin the 2026-2027 school year! This will be my 16th 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 23nd 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 15th 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 attends Greenville Technical College and Chris is in 11th grade at JL Mann High School, Maddie is in 6th grade at Ralph Chandler Middle School and Sean is in 5th grade 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.
