am thrilled to be a part of the Beechwood Middle Family. In 1999, I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Elementary Education from the University of South Carolina at Aiken and began my teaching career.  Later, I returned to earn my Master of Arts Degree in Elementary Education.  Prior to coming to Lexington School District One, I taught fourth grade in Aiken County and I taught fifth through eighth grade in Lexington School District Two.  Then I moved to Lake Murray Elementary School and taught third through fifth grade. This is my second year at Beechwood Middle. I have my Gifted and Talented endorsement and I have my Read to Succeed certification.  

My husband, Chase, and I have two beautiful daughters. Amelia, who will be a ninth-grader at Lexington High School this year, and Olivia, who will be in fourth grade at Lake Murray Elementary.  I also have a sweet, yet overprotective dog, named Teddy.  In my free time, I enjoy watching soccer games, supporting my daughter at cheerleading competitions, exercising, traveling, watching movies, and spending time with my family and friends.  I look forward to an exciting and productive year!
