GMC motto: GUIDING, MOTIVATING, CHALLENGING
Welcome to the GMC FAMILY and know I look forward to teaching you this year! This is my 11th year teaching and I can’t think of another career I’d rather want to have! I earned a Bachelor's of Science degree in Biology and Secondary Education from the College of Charleston in 2013 and a Masters of Education degree in Health and Wellness Education from the American College of Education in 2020 and in 2022 I completed 30 additional graduate credit hours through the College of Charleston and am certified in Project Based learning and Virtual Education. I love all things science and nature and I have put lots of focused energy into facilitating a positive and interesting learning environment! Outside of school, I enjoy watching my husband play golf, being a mom to our two sweet children, gardening, traveling, exercising, playing in the yard with my dogs Murphy and Jade, SCUBA diving and spending time with loved ones.
Google classroom and calendar will be used throughout the year so check there first but, please feel free to contact me for anything!
