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 began my teaching career with Florence School District 1 at West Florence High School in 1998 and am currently teaching IT Fundamentals H.  I have taught various business classes including Accounting, Business Law, IBA, Web Page Design, and Microcomputer Applications and Intro to Web Page Pub throughout my 19+ years of teaching. 

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 and after school to help those who may be struggling.

I have been married to my high school sweetheart, Billy, for 41 years.  We have 3 children and 5 grandchildren.  I enjoy scrapbooking, taking pictures, and spending time with my grandchildren.
