I am so excited to be working at New Prospect for my fourth year! I currently live in Greenville, which is my home town. After graduating from Wade Hampton High School, I attended the University of South Carolina where I earned a B.A. in Psychology from the South Carolina Honors College. I also hold a M.Ed. in Community Counseling from the University of Georgia, a M.S. in Library and Information Studies from Florida State University, and a Specialist in Library and Information Sciences degree from the University of South Carolina. I am a member of the American Library Association (ALA), the American Association of School Librarians (AASL), and the South Carolina Association of School Librarians. I love working with children and am passionate about helping them develop a love of reading. I am married to my husband of 17 years, and we have two wonderful children.
