I like working at the Academy because…everyone is friendly and respects each other.
Teaching Philosophy: If students are engaged, they will love to learn. I believe in challenging my students…..encouraging them to take risks and learn from their successes and their mistakes. I believe in a hands-on, real-life approach to learning. I believe instilling the love for learning is an integral part of my profession.
Fun Facts..I am a Clemson Tiger football fan (well really the Clemson Marching Band fan)!
When I’m not in the classroom you will find me…. In the garden or reading a book.
Ask me about ….My family
My personal motto….. Keep believing!
