About me

I am super excited to be in my third year as a Red Raider. I spent 8 years at Wade Hampton High School prior to coming to Greenville. I now feel at home as I have been a Red Raider through 2 of my children who graduated from Greenville. I am thrilled to be teaching US Government and Economics, as I have a Bachelor’s degree in Political Science from Davidson College and a Masters of Education in Social Studies from the University of Georgia. I love teaching students about our democracy and their role in it. I was the daughter of an Army officer and as a result, I lived in 8 different states as well as Garmisch and Berlin, Germany and Moscow, Russia. My upbringing and travels give me a unique perspective on our government and the world. 

We moved to Greenville in 1999 for my husband, Patrick, to join a Dental practice and now, 26 years later, we feel blessed to have raised our children in this amazing city with incredible schools. Wylie, Greenville Class of 2022, is a senior at Wofford College; Michael, Greenville Class of 2020, is an insurance broker with Gallagher Insurance, Risk Management and Consulting; and Jack, Eastside Class of 2017, got married to Emma in May and they live in Greenville where he is a lawyer in the Solicitors Office in Greenville and she is an accountant with EY. My children's academic success is a testament to Greenville County Schools. While I am passionate about teaching and the success of my students, outside of school I also enjoy playing tennis, reading, and being with my family. I am an avid sports fan and love watching college football, baseball, golf and tennis. 

I am hopeful that as I share and teach my students, we will all grow in how we see and impact our community and the world. 

Go Raiders!
