I am so fortunate to be teaching fifth grade at JBE!  This is my first year as a teacher, and there is no place I would rather be!  Previously I worked in insurance sales for 15 years, and decided 4 years ago to pursue a career where I could serve children in the Spartanburg community.  I started my studies at Spartanburg Community College, where I obtained an Associates of Arts.  I transferred to the University of South Carolina-Upstate and obtained a Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education in May, 2019.  I am married to my husband Jeremy, whom I have been married to for 17 years.  I have 2 beautiful children, Clay, who is 16, and Abby, who is 10.  Clay is a junior at Broome High School and loves to play guitar. Abby is in 5th grade at Cowpens Elementary and loves to dance.  I enjoy reading in my free time, spending time with my family, and listening to music.  I am proud to be a part of JBE Ohana!
