About Me

Experience

This is my 21st year teaching special education in Greenville County Schools. This is my 7th year at Berea High School. I have taught in a variety of settings including: tutorial/education support, inclusion, self-contained classes (pull-out), and one-on-one in the medical homebound setting. In high school, I mainly work in the inclusion setting in English and Math classes. I look forward to the opportunity to work with wonderful students, parents, and coworkers this year. I also enjoy helping with after-school activities like attending sports and other activities.
