I spent the first part of my childhood living in Kingstree, SC with my parents and my older brother.  When I was 12, however, we moved to Andrews.  I graduated from Andrews High School.  The University of South Carolina was my next home.  While attending USC, I earned my bachelor's degree in elementary education.

     One of my major hobbies is playing sports.  I enjoy football, basketball, and golf.  I also like to travel.  My favorite place to visit is the mountains of North Carolina, especially in the fall.  I love to see the colors change every year. 

     My primary goal in education is to make learning fun for kids.  I try to use as many games and other fun activities as possible with my students.  However, I do have high expectations for my students and I expect them all to fulfill their responsibilities.
