I graduated from Westside High School in 1987. During my four years at Presbyterian College in Clinton, South Carolina, I earned a Bachelor of Science degree with a double major in French and Business Administration. I spent my junior year of college studying in Paris, France at L'Institute Catholique.

I worked in retail for several years after college graduation but changed my profession to teaching in 1994. I began at Thomas Jefferson Academy in Louisville, Georgia where I taught for four years. Upon receiving my teacher's certification from Augusta State University, I accepted a position at Laney High School where I remained for eleven years.

I received my Master's degree in Guidance and School Counseling from Augusta State University in 2006. I served as the guidance counselor at Windsor Spring Elementary for the 08-09 school year before receiving the opportunity to come to ARC. I am excited to be here and I look forward to working with you.
