I am a native of Florence, South Carolina. I am a graduate of South Florence High School. I earned my Bachelor of Arts degree in Interdisciplinary Studies, from Benedict College. I  earned my Masters of Teaching Special Education in Learning Disabilities from Francis Marion University. This is my second year teaching at Wilson High School. However, I have worked in Florence One Schools for 16 years. I am extremely passionate about building positive relationships with young people and their parents. I firmly believe "it takes a villiage to raise a child". In my experience, when students, parents, and educators work together, the possibilities for students' success are endless.
