Teacher Bio

I am so grateful to be a founding faculty member of the new Greer Middle College Charter High School- go GMCCHS! While finishing my M.A.T. degree from Converse College, I taught English at Greenville Technical College. Before I became an educator, I was in Sales and Marketing for 12 years. After living in Los Angeles for several years, I moved to Greenville to be closer to family and to recover from the chaos of California! I am a “newlywed”- Erik and I married in April 2007 and this past July we adopted a beautiful baby girl!!!My hope for this school year is to create an enthusiastic and exciting learning community for all students. See you in the classroom!
