I was born in Johnston, South Carolina. I graduated from Aiken Technical College where I received my Associated Degree in Early Childhood Development in 2013. I have two daughters: Bryanna (12) and Taylor (6). I am very passionate about teaching and cannot wait to enjoy teaching and learning with your child.  In my free time, I enjoy crafting with my daughters, reading a good book and being with family and friends.  It is so important to keep communication open and I would love to talk to you whenever you feel there is a need. I am looking forward to the great year together.

I believe that the goal of early childhood education is to support and advance children’s development by providing them with developmentally appropriate environment and materials that relate to real-life experiences. By observing children through play or in their natural environment, so that a teacher can get a greater understanding of what the children knows. I believe the purpose of early childhood education is to guarantee children with a foundation of social and emotional, cognitive, and physical developments. It is to help expand their learning by giving the children materials to explore and that is based on real-life experiences.
