I am excited about starting my 17 th year teaching 5th grade at Harbison West Elementary! I am from Columbia, SC and graduated from A.C. Flora High School in 2003.  I went on to play soccer at Limestone College and graduated with a B.S. in Business Administration.  After realizing the business world was not my passion, I went back to the University of South Carolina to get my M.A.T. in Elementary Education.  I absolutely love being a teacher at Harbison West and am so excited to meet my next class of students.  When I'm not teaching, I enjoy outdoor activities, traveling,  as well as spending time with friends and family.  I am very fortunate to be a co-founder of amazing programs at Harbison West like Project Au-Some, Extra Inning, and Basketball.  I am truly looking forward to an amazing year with curious learners that are willing to jump in and explore all of the exciting new learning adventures we will be pursuing this year!
