Meet Your Teachers

I am so glad that you are going to be at Golden Strip this year!   Here is a little information about me.  I have lived in South Carolina my entire life. I am from Pickens County, and went to Dacusville Elementary.  I graduated in May of 2024, I now have an Early Childhood Education Degree from North Greenville University. I have recently gotten engaged, and will be getting married in March 2027!

My family and I have lived in Dacusville for years, but I have recently moved to Easley, SC. I have two younger sisters. One of my sisters recently had a baby, so I excited about becoming an aunt. I have a dog named Lucky. I love to travel with my family! 

In addition to teaching, I enjoy reading, traveling, and being outside!  Pasta is my favorite food, and blue is my favorite color. 

This will be my third year teaching at Bryson Elementary. I have taught First Grade for two years and this will be my first year in Pre-Kindergarten. I look forward to meeting you and learning all about you!  

I am so excited to start my 14th year At Golden Strip CDC.   This will be my 23rd year working in an early childhood environment and can’t wait to usher in a new decade with our districts youngest learners.  I am originally from Columbia, SC where I attended Columbia College and received a bachelors in dance with an Early Childhood minor.   While not at school you can find me teaching dance at a local studio in Greer, SC.   My favorite hobbies are reading, collecting dolls and being the carline DIVA.  I have a 18 year old daughter named Alyssa who goes to Clemson University majoring in Elementary Education.   She is also award winning dancer and loves to sing and sleep.  My husband of 23 years is Jonathan and he also works for Greenville County Schools at the district office and he enjoys listening to classic rock and watching any type of sporting event.  As a family we love to cook out, riding the biggest and fastest roller coasters we can find, watching The Clemson Tigers Win, and listening to the band The Beatles!
