I grew up as a student of Greenville County through my whole K-12 life. I went to Sue Cleveland Elementary, Woodmont Middle School, and Woodmont High School. Afterwards, I graduated from Lander University with a Bachelors of Science in Elementary Education. Now I live with my two sweetheart puppies, Maestro and Scout. In my free time I enjoy reading, all kinds of music, and visiting rock climbing gyms. To me, the most important part of a classroom is making sure that the environment is welcoming and safe for students. I am a firm believer that every student should feel safe, loved, and encouraged in the classroom.
