Outside of the classroom, life is always lively! I'm a proud mom of three energetic boys, a small rescue dog and a flock of chickens that keep things interesting at home. I love to travel, watch reality TV (yes, it's my guilty pleasure), and brainstorm new business ideas—I'm always dreaming up the next big thing. My husband is a die-hard football fan and during game time you can always find me in the kitchen whipping up all the yummy foods (Go Gamecocks)! We love to travel and visit new places; be it the mountains, beach, city or wherever the road takes us!
I'm excited to begin my first year at Hillcrest High School and become part of this amazing community. I recently moved from California where I was raised most of my life. I hold a Bachelors in Criminal Justice, an Associates in Small Business Management with an emphasis in Entrepreneurship, a Culinary Degree from the Culinary Institute of the Carolinas and a veteran of the US Navy... safe to say I am always on an adventure to learn something new and broad! I was previously employed as an Event Coordinator for the tourism government sector where I continued learning about the various business aspects and how they impact all avenues of everything you do and see! I am an Entrepreneur by heart with a multitude of small businesses under my belt. I would love for all students to see their potential and find whatever path may suit them best for a successful and fulfilling life!
I can't wait to bring my creativity, life experience, and enthusiasm into the classroom. Here's to a great year ahead!
💕 The color pink
✨ Anything sparkly
🍬 Twizzlers & Sixlets
☕ Coffee & Coke Zero...and all things caffeinated
🎬 An odd mixture of reality TV & horror movies
🌎 Traveling to new destinations
🌴 The beach, lake & warm sunshine
I believe that bringing personality and joy into the classroom helps students feel connected—and I can’t wait to share that energy this year!
