Originally from rural Pennsylvania, I moved to South Carolina in 2006 after earning a bachelor's degree in Secondary English Education. After teaching high school English for one year, I became a middle-level educator. This is my twentieth year as a teacher, my seventeenth year with Greenville County Schools, and my eleventh year at Riverside Middle School. I look forward to working with students and their families to make this a positive, successful year.
In my free time, I enjoy traveling to unique destinations, reading memoirs and historical fiction, watching college football, cooking/baking, and spending time with my family and friends. I hope to visit all seven continents and enjoy using my summer vacations to further my education.
