I am proud to be a product of the Rock Hill School District. After graduating from Columbia College with a B.A. in Elementary Education, I returned to Rock Hill to begin my career teaching fourth grade at Belleview Elementary School. I earned a Masters degree from Winthrop University and moved to teaching in the district's academically gifted and
talented program in January 1984. An additional 30 post-graduate hours above my Masters degree included specific coursework in gifted education and brought the total to 21 graduate and post-graduate hours of training in the field. I earned National Board Certification as a Middle Childhood Generalist in 2002 and renewed my certification in 2012. In 2009 I also earned a Professional Achievement Certificate from the National Association of Gifted Children; this program required independent research and study with an expert in the gifted field, and my focus was on the social and emotional needs of gifted children. I completed additional training with SENG (Supporting Emotional Needs of the Gifted) in 2011. Teaching gifted students is my passion and a great joy!
My husband Michael teaches music at Winthrop University, and we have two children: Sarah teaches third grade at Crowders Creek Elementary School, and Patrick is a junior at Wofford College.
