I am looking forward to the 2026-2027 school year, which marks my twenty-first year teaching in Greenville County. I am excited to embark on another year working with gifted and talented students. Over the past twenty years, I have taught third grade at Lake Forest Elementary, GCSD Virtual School, and Oakview Elementary in Simpsonville.

My path to Greenville began in Boulder, Colorado, where I lived until June 2006. Prior to that, I spent my childhood on Long Island, New York. These diverse experiences have significantly shaped me as both a person and an educator.

I am enthusiastic about the upcoming school year, particularly because the curriculum for the challenge program includes many of my favorite subjects, such as art, architecture, engineering, and math, among others. It’s going to be a fantastic year!
