I am excited to be a part of your child's education this year! This year begins my 29th year teaching in the public school system. I have taught in the elementary, middle, and high school level. For ten years I taught in the field of special education in both the self-contained setting and the resource setting. At Lake Forest, I taught 11 years in 2nd grade and 8 years in 3rd grade.
I grew up in Greenwood, South Carolina and spent my college years at Lander University. I graduated from Lander University in 1997 with my B.S. in Special Education.
In 2006, I completed my Masters in Reading and Literacy. I am certified in early childhood, elementary, generic special education, and mental disabilities. Also, I have the Read To Succeed endorsement.
I was the 2012-2013 Teacher of the Year at Lake Forest Elementary and 2011 WYFF 4 Golden Apple Award Winner.
My husband David and I have 3 boys and 2 dogs. We enjoy spending time together and spoiling our grandson!
