My name is Andrea Jolley and I was born and raised in Florence, South Carolina.  I graduated from Wilson High Schoool, and I hold a Bachelors degree in English from Jackson State University in Jackson, Mississippi.  I also graduated with a Masters degree in Teaching Learning Disabilities from Francis Marion University, and a Masters degree in Educational Leadership from Coastal Carolina University.  I am presently pursuing a Doctorate degree in Educational Administration at South Carolina State University. I started at North Vista as a Montessori assistant 11 years ago, and now I am the LD Resource Teacher.  I have two kids, Kennedy (age 14) and Kayshaun (age 8).  I believe that all children have the ability to learn and with the right motivation along with accountability, all children can succeed.
