Hi! Welcome to ELA. I am excited to work with you this year! I have been teaching for 21 years, all of those in District 5. I have taught 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th grade, and middle school is my favorite! In my spare time, I root for the Gamecocks, read, and spend time with family and friends. Please never hesitate to reach out if you need anything at all.
