Hi, and welcome to my teacher page!! I want you to know a little about myself. I am originally from Niles, Ohio and moved to Myrtle Beach in 1999 to attend Coastal Carolina University. I earned BA in elementary education from CCU and a MA in Teaching from Grand Canyon University. I have been teaching 8th grade science in Horry County for the last 9 years. I am married to Dave, who is also from Niles, Ohio, and we have 2 children: Hayden (4) and Carter (2). In my spare time, I enjoy reading, spending time at the beach, and watching Ohio State.
