I am currently in my twenty-sixth year as an educator in South Carolina public education.  I have taught ELA for twenty-two years and have served in many capacities in my learning environments.  I graduated from South Carolina State University and Capella University.  I have been married twenty-nine years and have four beautiful children.  Outside of the love and passion I have for my students, I enjoy reading, thrifting, and running my small business as an independent consultant with Paparazzi Accessories, LLC.  I am extremely excited to be a teacher/advisor for the Whitlock Flexible Learning Center Virtual Academy for the 2020-2021 school term.
