About Your Social Workers

I am so excited to be returning to Wood Elementary for the 2025 - 2026 school year as one of your school social workers. I have worked with children and their families 8 of the 10 years I have been in the field. I have been a licensed social worker in the state of SC since 2018. I am a 2x graduate of the University of South Carolina with a Master of Social Work and Bachelor of Arts in Sociology. Despite my Alma Mater, you will see me in Orange and Purple from August - January (GO TIGERS)! 

As a school social worker, we assist with community needs and resources (clothing, food, etc.), mental health, and small groups - just to name a few areas!!

I am so excited to be back this school year! 

Please do not hesitate to reach out to discuss what assistance our department can provide to the NeighborWood!
