Hello!

I am teaching English 1 and English 3 this year at Aiken High. I am an alumna from Clemson University, where I earned a B.A. in English Literature. This is my 4th year of teaching, first year at Aiken High. As an avid reader, teaching English is the perfect career for me because I get to nerd out about books and words every day. Most of all, I love teaching English because prose, poetry, and writing connect all of us to each other. Our stories matter and I'm here to listen, encourage, and nurture every student and their unique stories.

In my free time you will find me playing roller derby for the Soul City Sirens in Augusta, sitting in the sun with a good book, or taking care of my furbabies. I am also the co-lead teacher with Ms. Pataro for student trips to Orvieto, Italy with Partners in Friendship of Aiken and the moderator for the video game club here at Aiken High.

I utilize Talking Points for class alerts on homework, tests, quizzes, and important dates. If you'd like to receive these updates, please email me for an access code as well as your preferred language setting. I am more than happy to receive any questions or concerns about your student(s) by email or Talking Points. I look forward to a successful year in English!
