I am excited to be at Ashley Ridge and be a first-year fox! I have come full circle with Dorchester District 2, first being a student of the district to now an educator within the district. 

I was raised in Summerville, SC, graduating from Summerville High School in 2009. I then went on to receive a Bachelor of Science in Family and Consumer Sciences specialized in Early Intervention and minor in Psychology from Winthrop University in Rock Hill, SC. I later went on to receive my Master of Education in Secondary School Counseling from The Citadel Graduate College. 

As part of the Swamp Fox family, I serve as a School Counselor for 9th-grade students and families, last names K-Z. 

I look forward to giving back and working with the ARHS students and families; as well as the Summerville community that I call home.
