Although I am originally from Marion, SC, I have lived in Florence since 1991.  After graduating from Francis Marion University with a bachelor’s degree in elementary education in 1993, I earned a master’s degree plus 30 hours in speech/language pathology from South Carolina State University in 1995.  I have been employed with Florence 1 Schools since 1996 as a speech/language pathologist.  When I am not at work, I enjoy playing tennis, going to the beach, and spending time with my family and friends.
