I was a life long resident of Boiling Springs, South Carolina until last year when my family moved to the big city of Spartanburg. (Ha. Ha.) My husband, Darryl, and I have one son, Joseph, an eighth grader at Dawkins Middle School. We, also, have a dog named Zoey, who is a diva and refuses to get out of bed before 8:00 a.m. in the morning.
This school year is my 22nd year in education. I taught 4th and 5th grade for a total of 17 years. In addition, I was a literacy coach for five years in Spartanburg District Two. I have a Master’s degree in elementary education as well as 30 additional graduate hours. I became Nationally Board Certified in literacy in 2008. I'm also certified to teach gifted & talented. I put forth great effort in my teaching, and it’s my goal to see each child reach his/her fullest potential.
I am a die-hard USC fan (GO COCKS)!!!! I love reading books on my Kindle, decorating my house, and totally enjoy binge watching TV shows! I am a positive and energetic person who likes to laugh and have fun. One step in my classroom, and you'll see...
Thank you for sharing your child with me this year! The start of each year holds the promise of new discovery and learning as well as the prospect of personal and academic growth. I look forward to learning more about each child as we venture through this year together.
