I began my teaching career in Knoxville, TN where I taught for three years.  After moving to Florida, I worked for Recording for the Blind and Dyslexic as an Outreach Coordinator for two years. Then I became the ESE and ESOL Director for Imagine Charter Schools in North Port, Florida.  I was teacher of the year in 2009-2010 at Imagine and decided to return to the classroom when we opened our middle school campus. After moving to South Carolina, I began teaching 5th Grade at PVES in Bluffton, SC. Then I moved to Rock Hill and became an Old Pointe Panther.  This will be my 13th year of teaching, and this is my 5th year at OPES!
