Hello.  I am honored to be a part of the ILMS staff.  I am a Rock Hill native, and I have a BA in English from Winthrop University.  I have thirty-four years of teaching experience; twenty-three of those have been in eighth grade.  In 2007, I earned my National Board certification.  I am married, and I have two adult sons, a lovely daughter-in-law, and two sweet, silly, little beagles named Watson and Tater. I enjoy reading, cooking, gardening, and taking long walks with my husband and dogs.
