Her wealth of knowledge, strong commitment to students, and passion for education will help guide Mustangs into what is sure to be an amazing year.

I became an educator to share with others my passion for literature and the power behind language.  This is my 20th year in education.  I spent my first 6 years teaching English 1 and 2 to 9th and 10th graders before moving to Muller Road when we opened our doors in 2011.

I am married to my best friend and we have three children.  Libby is 10  and in 2nd grade.  Cate and Rhett are 7 years old.  

I graduated from Clemson University in 2001 with a Bachelors in English.  I also received a Master of Arts in Teaching from Winthrop, a Master of Education in Administration from Arkansas State, and a Master of Education in Language and Literacy from the University of South Carolina.

I’m excited to serve as the Director of School Counseling at Muller Road Middle. I will serve the 8th grade students for this academic year. I enjoy working with students to help promote their academic, emotional, and social needs for overall success. It is my hope that by working with the students, they will also gain essential skills that will help them become college and career ready for the future. 

I enjoy spending time with family, traveling, exercise, and watching my favorite sports teams. 

I look forward to another awesome school year for our students at Muller Road Middle.
