I am excited to start my 22nd year of teaching!! I graduated from Clemson University with a degree in Elementary Education and a Masters in Counseling. I also completed my Early Childhood Certification at Anderson University and have my National Board Certification. While in college, I had the opportunity to take classes in Spain and spend a semester at the University of Newcastle in Australia. Since then, I have taught third grade in Florida, 1st in Anderson County, 1st and K5 at Oakview Elementary in Greenville County, and going on my 6th year at Summit Drive. If I am not working at school with my lovely students, I enjoy spending time with my family!! My husband and I have four children: Charlie, Henry, Taylor-May, and George. We also added a very energetic Australian Shepherd, Bella, to our mix! As a family we enjoy going to Clemson games, hanging out at our lake house, LOTS of sports activities (football, soccer, dance, track, baseball, swimming), and traveling! I can’t wait to work with you and your child this year!! First Grade is going to be AWESOME!!
