I was born and raised in Gaffney, South Carolina and attended The University of South Carolina Upstate where I graduated with a degree in early childhood education grades pre-kindergarten through third grade in 2004. I received my Masters’ Degree in Elementary Education is 2009 from Appalachian State University. I have been married for 15 years to my husband, Reid. We have been blessed with two wonderful daughters. Kennedy is 11 years old and will be in sixth grade this year! Avery is six years old and will be a first grader. They both keep us on our toes and very entertained!

My entire teaching career has been at North Brook Elementary, and it has been a true blessing. We are truly one big family and we strive to make North Brook the best school in Lincoln County.

This will be my eleventh year teaching 3rd grade! I also taught Kindergarten for two years and 2nd grade for three years. Third graders are my favorite!!

Teaching has always been a passion for me. I have a love for learning and I would hope that my students would also learn to love learning as much as I do. By making my classroom a safe, fun and disciplined place for my students, I would hope that they will enjoy coming to my classroom and learning something new everyday. I feel that all children are different and require specific attention and affection for them to flourish. I will strive to be that for each of my students; an educator who loves each child that walks in her door and gives each of them not only an education, but a passion to learn.
