I was born and raised in Columbia, South Carolina. I went to Lexington & Richland District 5 Schools. I graduated from Irmo High School where I was a cheerleader...Go Yellow Jackets! I then went to Columbia College, earning my BA in Early Childhood Education and being certified in Elementary Education. This is my ninth year at Harbison West teaching third grade. I love being a part of the HWES family!

I am married to Kyle Kimrey, a PE teacher, and wrestling coach at White Knoll High School. Together we have a son, Elias, and a daughter, Martha.  I love spending time with my family and friends. I love my faith, reading, photography, and going to the mountains and beach!
