Meet Your Teacher

 I was born in Spartanburg, SC in 1977. I grew up in Boiling Springs, SC, but moved to Landrum in 1987. I graduated from Landrum High School in 1995. I graduated in May 1999 from USC-Spartanburg (now Upstate) with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Secondary Education Social Studies. In December 2009, I obtained a Masters in Education with a specialization in Technology from Walden University.

    I was married on August 8, 1998. I married my high school sweetheart, Gavin Sullivan. I have two beautiful and precious daughters, Alexandrea Sullivan, "Ally", born on September 13, 2001 and Zoe Sullivan, born on February 5, 2009.  I am richly blessed!  I have one dog, Sophic ( a black lab mix) and one Granddog...KIWI...She has my heart! I have A LOT chickens! I have two goats, Naomi and Evie.  I also have 4 cats...Pistol, Kitters, Boots, and Tebow!  I love animals! Eventually I would love to have cows and horses!

    I reside in Gowensville, SC. Before coming to BRMS, I taught 7th grade Social Studies at Mauldin Middle School for six years. I started teaching at Blue Ridge Middle School in 2006. I am looking forward to many great years at Blue Ridge!  I taught sixth grade for 8 years. Moved to 7th grade in 2016, and in 2026 moved back to sixth grade. I have coached softball for many years and won four district championships while at BR. On any given Saturday you will probably find me on a softball field, either with Ally, who now coaches (after playing college ball at Newberry) or with Zoe (who also plays travel softball, but also softball for Mountain View Prep). 

    I love my church. #FreeChapel

    I believe that all children can learn given the right opportunity. I want to show children there is a world outside of Blue Ridge Middle and social studies is the best subject to do that.
