About Mrs. Sloan

Who is Mrs. Sloan?

I'm so glad you asked! Originally, I am from Pickens, SC where I graduated from Pickens Senior High School in 2006. I have a Bachelor of Arts degree from in Secondary Science Education and a Masters in Curriculum and Instruction from WGU. I have been a Blue Ridge Tiger since 2021! Before teaching, I was a full-time substitute teacher for Greenville County Schools, and I have also worked as a pharmacy technician and bartender/server. I have always felt like I was born to be an educator. My high school biology teacher pushed me to be the best and convinced me to become the biology teacher I am today.

I met my husband, Chris, in 2014 and we were married on the island of Maui in 2019. We call Greer, SC, home, and my husband's parents are from Blue Ridge (both are graduates). We have a daughter named Peyton, who is a student at Blue Ridge High. Our house feels like a zoo sometimes, too. We have three Miniature Schnauzers (Miles, Ranger, and Bowman) and a corn snake (Sid). My dogs are like my children, and you will more than likely hear me talk about them often and how chaotic our house is regularly.

Additional Certifications: AP Biology (William and Mary) and Gifted and Talented (Converse University)

I look forward to getting to know all of my wonderful students! My classroom is always open!

A few fun facts about Mrs. Sloan...

I've been a professional photographer for over ten years (since 2009). My husband and I own a photography business based in Greer, and we are the official photographers of the Clemson University Tiger Band! Our photos can be seen on our website, or you can click HERE to follow us through a season or see photos from previous seasons! You'll also see pictures from previous seasons displayed in my classroom.
We're big fans of the Atlanta Braves and love traveling with the team when we're able. In the summer of 2016, we traveled to Washington, DC, to watch a season series matchup with the Nationals, and in the summer of 2022, we traveled to Chicago to catch a series matchup with the Cubs at historic Wrigley Field. In 2023 we traveled to Cleveland to see the Braves vs the Guardians, and in 2025, we were able to catch the Braves vs the Pirates in Pittsburgh. We're slowly making our way to every major league park!
I love Broadway musicals. I've seen "The Lion King," "Wicked," "Hamilton," and "Phantom of the Opera" live on stage. "The Lion King" "Hamilton," and "Wicked" were experienced our local theater, The Peace Center. I have also seen "Wicked" at the Gershwin Theater and "Phantom of the Opera" at the Majestic Theater on Broadway in NYC. My favorite of all of those is "Wicked," and I've been a fan since I read the book in 2006.
My favorite TV shows are The Big Bang Theory, Grey's Anatomy, How I Met Your Mother, and The Office. My favorite movie franchises are Star Wars, Jurassic Park, and Back to the Future.
My family enjoys theme parks and are total adrenaline junkies! We frequently visit Universal Studios in Florida. My favorite roller coaster is based on my favorite dinosaur (Velocicoaster @ Universal's Islands of Adventure), so it makes sense for me to ride it multiple times each visit.
Before I die, I want to travel to every state in the United States. So far, I've been to 24 different states.
I truly believe that we can solve most problems with decent conversation over a slice of cheesecake.
