I am a graduate of the University of South Carolina where I received my Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration with emphasis in Management and Accounting.  I earned my Masters of Science degree in Education with emphasis in Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment from Walden University in 2004.  In 2015, I received my National Board Certification in EAYA-Career and Technical Education.  I am also certified in Online Teaching.  I worked in the accounting field for 12 years before I began teaching.

I began my teaching career with Florence School District 1 at West Florence High School in 1998.  I have taught various business classes including Accounting, Business Law, IBA, Web Page Design, IT Fundamentals H, Microcomputer Applications, Fundamentals of Computing, and Intro to Web Page Pub throughout my 23+ years of teaching. This is my third year at Alfred Rush Academy.

I love helping my students gain skills necessary to enter the working environment upon graduation and I encourage them to consider a career in business.  My love for accounting has led several of my former students into the accounting field as they entered their college career. I want to see all of my students succeed and I offer students tutoring before school to help those who may be struggling.

I am looking forward to the 2022-2023 school year.
