I have been with ACPSD since 2015. I've worked in the special education program serving students at Belvedere Elementary and LBC Middle School. This is my first year as a School Counselor and I am dedicated to serving MVHS 9th Grade students. I received my Bachelors of Arts at Newberry College and my Masters in Counselor Education at Liberty University. In pursuing my career in the field of education, I am currently working on my Ed.S in Educational Leadership at Liberty University as well. I am the mother of two beautiful daughters and I enjoy spending time with family and friends.

I Graduated from MVHS in ’89 as a Junior and went on to attend Aiken Tech. I have worked in Aiken County School District for 27 years in different positions and am excited to be in my 3^rd year here at MVHS. My two oldest children graduated from MVHS and I currently have a son attending. I love to decorate and spend time with my family.

I grew up in Gloverville, SC and graduated from Midland Valley High School with honors in 1983. After attending USCA, majoring in Math and Computer Science, I worked as a Cost Accountant for Graniteville Company for 7 years. In 1988, I married another MV graduate, Darryl Meyer. Together we raised two children who both were Mustang student athletes. My daughter, Victoria is now a scientist at SRNL and my son, Wesley is a service technician at Bridgestone. I have a six year old grandson, Easton who I hope will wear a Mustang uniform as well. I began working at Midland Valley in 2005 as the ISS supervisor, transferred to the Attendance Aide position in 2006 and now I am very happy to be a part of our amazing Counseling Department. I am extremely proud to be a Valley girl!

I have been serving students within Aiken County School District since 2007 and my current position has given me the opportunity to be a part of the Mustang family. I graduated from North Augusta High and earned my Bachelor’s Degree in Mass Communications at Georgia Southern University. In continuing my education, I am currently pursuing a Master’s in Education from Grand Canyon University. I am the proud mother of twins attending Claflin University and a daughter at LMMS. I have a passion for student advocacy and want to help to ensure that they all have a chance to succeed. My hope and prayer is to make a positive impact on student’s lives here at Midland Valley High School.
