After graduating I moved to Charleston and taught PE/Health and coached lacrosse and basketball. Along with teaching PE I am also the AD here at the school and I coach multiple sports including flag football, basketball, and soccer. Go Mountain Lions!

TMCS, through the thick and thin our world has been through lately, continues to be my dream job, and I wouldn't want to teach anywhere else! I consider TMCS a haven; a bubble, where kids get to be kids, and teachers get to focus on what's truly important--the whole child.

My goals as a teacher are to spark curiosity and wonder, allow students to explore and question through hands-on experiences, build empathy and community through literature, and to foster a mindset of life-long learning.

When I first went back to school for my teaching license I knew I wanted to teach at a small school with a strong sense of community. It took a while, but my path finally led me to The Mountain Community School. TMCS is a small school that has a very strong sense of community, and teaching here is my dream job!
