She attended Furman University (Go Paladins!) in Greenville, SC and received her Bachelor of Music degree in Instrumental Music Education. Mrs. Gavigan lived in Beaufort, SC and taught in Beaufort County School District for 7 years. She is excited to return closer to home and continue her career as an Indian Land Warrior.
