About Me.
Born and raised in Greenville, South Carolina, I’m a dedicated teacher who finds joy in shaping young minds. When I’m not in the classroom, I love spending time with my dog, Valentino, who is like my child. I’m also passionate about weightlifting, sewing, and shopping—activities that keep me balanced and energized. Thank you for visiting, and I hope you find something here that inspires you!
