Read. Write. Succeed.

Welcome to the 2024-2025 school year! I am excited to enter my 25th year in education! I am a Bulldog; I grew up in Newberry and graduated from Newberry High. I earned my Bachelor of Arts in English at the University of South Carolina in Columbia. After starting my career at NHS, I added my Masters of Education in Divergent Learning from Columbia College and then my National Board of Professional Teaching Standards certification. I have continued studying and taking classes in literacy, diversity, and curriculum.

As a teacher at NHS, I have taught all levels of English. I teach the Teacher Cadet course, a dual credit opportunity designed to recruit superstar teachers into the profession. I sponsor our award-winning student government association and work closely with the best student leaders in our state. I am the School District of Newberry County's English Language Arts Lead Teacher; this gives me the opportunity to work with English teachers at all of our district schools to help Improve Instructional practices.

In my free time, I enjoy reading, traveling, cooking, and spending time with friends and family and my crazy puppy, Riley.
