Welcome to South Aiken, and to my classroom! I teach English and Drama to students in grades 9 through 12. This is my 26th year of teaching and my 13th year of teaching at South Aiken. I have been married for 21 years and have two yappy dachshunds at home. I am also the aunt of two fabulous nieces!

I possess a BS in English/Secondary English from East Stroudsburg University in Pennsylvania, which is where I also obtained a Master's Degree in Secondary Education. I earned a second Master's Degree in Educational Administration from Wilkes University in Pennsylvania.

Here at the school, I am enormously proud to be the Advisor of the SAHS Drama Club. These students are passionate about their art, and have been recognized at local, state, and international levels for their incredible productions!

I also advise Beta Club, a group of lovely people dedicated to their academics and the desire to help the world around them. Beta Club members have been recognized at the state level with several of our members winning prestigious Beta Club scholarships!

While this year will have lots of new challenges, I look forward to being back around the excitement and energy of my students.
