I've loved Spanish since my first class in high school!
I worked as the Spanish teacher's assistant my senior year in high school, running the language lab and grading papers, and completed my study abroad in Chile during my freshman year at Clemson University. I graduated with a BA in Modern Languages (Spanish) before working as an bilingual enrollment specialist for government benefits. I took my first teaching job at Camden High School, working there from 2005-2010 while earning my two master's degrees in education, before moving to the Upstate in 2010. I've also worked at Westside High in Anderson and JL Mann in Greenville, but my favorite is Mauldin High School. Go Mavs!
My husband, Jeb, and I met at Clemson (Go Tigers!) during the late 1900s (ha!) and married in 2011. We have three awesome kids: James (13), Martin (10), and Charlotte (8). This summer we adopted a puppy, Widget. We love to travel, especially to Seattle (my dad & stepmom), Chicago (my sister & brother-in-law), and Manhattan (because who doesn't love New York?).
In my spare time, you'll find me reading (100-200 books a year), dancing at the ballet studio, gardening, hiking, or researching and cooking food that you can't tell is gluten free.
