I am a 1991 graduate of Winthrop College, where I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Early Childhood Education. I went on to complete my Masters degree in Early Childhood Education from University of South Carolina. My teaching career began in 1991 as a fourth grade teacher for Chester County Schools. Five years later in 1996, I joined the teaching staff at Ebenezer Avenue Elementary School where I have enjoyed the experience of teaching fourth, third, and second grade, as well as kindergarten. My goal as an educator is to establish meaningful relationships with my students and fellow teachers that lead to positive growth for all. My husband Jeff and I have two sons, Chase and Jacob. I enjoy spending my free time with friends, reading on the porch, and traveling to the beach
