I've taught chorus for the past 25 years, previously teaching at Chapin Middle School from 2000 to 2015. I was even honored to be chosen as Chapin Intermediate's Teacher of the Year during the 2016-2017 school year! I am married, and I have two children. My husband works at Dominion Energy, but he enjoys spending his free time hunting and working on tractors, trucks, and other vehicles. My 20-year-old son, Adam, is currently attending Midlands Technical College, where he is studying Computer-Aided Design and Machinery. My 22-year-old daughter, Anna, graduated from the University of South Carolina in December of 2024 with a degree in Biology. She is now attending MUSC in Charleston, where she is pursuing her Master's Degree in Perfusion. I love spending my free time reading,  singing Karaoke, playing the piano, watching Netflix, and playing with my dog, Sadie. She is a German Shorthaired Pointer. This past summer, we vacationed in Folly Beach. 

My passion is music and I am lucky to share what I love with my students.. I am excited about this school year and can't wait to meet my students!
