I am a York native with over 20 years of experience in education. I graduated Summa Cum Laude from Winthrop University with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Elementary Education. I began my career as a fourth grade teacher in York School District One and earned a Master of Education Degree in Reading. I served as a Literacy Coach and then earned a Master of Education Degree in Educational Administration from the University of South Carolina. I served as an instructor at York Technical College, a Parent/Teacher Specialist, and an assistant principal before becoming principal at Harold C. Johnson in 2016.  I LOVE my HCJ FAMILY, and I am so proud of my students and staff! I have been married to my high school sweetheart for over 20 years, and we have two beautiful daughters who keep us very, very busy! We are very involved in our local church and stay busy with our girls’ dance and music lessons. We love spending time on our farm and vacationing at the beach and the mountains.

After graduating from the University of South Carolina (Go Gamecocks!), I began my teaching career at York Middle School as an 8^th grade math teacher. I earned a Master of Education degree in Educational Administration from the University of South Carolina. After teaching and serving as the Assistant Principal at York Middle School, I joined the HCJ family to serve as the Assistant Principal. I am thankful to work with an amazing faculty at HCJ. Our teachers ensure that students are put first every day, so they can learn and thrive!

My husband and I have two daughters, who are the sweetest and happiest little girls. When we are not at work, we enjoy spending time with them and our families. As a native of York and a YCHS graduate, I know first-hand the amazing opportunities our district has to offer. I am committed to the students, staff, and parents of this community. Go Jaguars!
