I have had the pleasure of teaching art for the past 16 years, I have spent the past 8 years teaching at Hillcrest High School, and this is my second year at Wade Hampton High School! I will be teaching Art 3/4 and Art 1 for the 2023/24 school year. When I am not teaching I am busy with my three kids, our goldendoodle Pepper, and lots of space to run, play and explore...we live in north Greer close to Hogback and Glassy Mountain. 

Here are some exciting things we have in store the Hamp Art Program: Hallway murals, National Art Honor Society, advanced Art website, Instagram and portfolio development, local artist collaborations, and an Art Field Trip!
