A Little About Me

I am a native South Carolinian, born in Charleston, SC. I have been in Greenville, SC for the past 4 1/2 years. Before then I lived in Knoxville, TN for about 15 years. I take care of and enjoy my four children (two boys and two girls... 15, 13, 11, and 9), my mother, and three little gangster dogs. I love writing poetry, literature, painting abstract art, music, urban hiking, baking cinnamon rolls, boogie boarding, playing guitar and attending festivals. Even though I am a beach bum/downtown girl at heart, I also love nature and find solace in the woods on a beautiful day, just as long as I don't get lost. 

I hold a Bachelor's Degree in English with a Minor in Spanish and am progressing toward a Masters Degree in English Education. I have served in the education of children for the better part of 25 years. This is my 3rd year at League. I adore the Arts Integration and Capturing Kids Hearts foundations here. I also homeschooled for seven years while I tutored, worked in private education, and subbed for countless others. During that time I edited a published book. 

I cannot wait to share my love for the arts with you! I want you all to know you are loved!! I want you all to know I respect you as humans greatly, and I desire to teach you how to be the best communicators. YOUR VOICE MATTERS!
