I am excited about our year together! I will be teaching, World History Honors and CP, Senior Project (Internship), WWII in the Cinema, and History of the American Revolution. Outside of class, you can find me co-sponsoring Youth In Government, working Smart Center, or going for a run!
A little about me:
This is my fourth year at GTCHS, but my 9th year teaching. I graduated from Newberry College with a B.A. in History and Secondary Education and a minor in Spanish. I then earned my Master's in the Art of Teaching from Clemson University. I am currently taking graduate classes to reach my Master's +30. I hold certifications in high school and middle school social studies, as well as K-12 English to Speakers of Other Languages.
Before becoming a teacher, I worked for the National Park Service and Walt Disney World. I love bringing these other experiences into the classroom as students explore their own possible career paths.
When I am not at school, I enjoy spending time with my family and fiancé, running, hiking, biking, kayaking, traveling, and studying history. We have four dogs - Arya, Miso, Kane, and Harper - and foster for a local rescue. We currently have one foster, Koda. They all keep us busy!
