Administration

I have been an educator at Ninety Six High School for 27 years. I began my career at Ninety Six High School as a Science teacher, teaching Biology and Chemistry. I also served as Science Department Chair and the High Schools that Work Curriculum and Instruction and Professional Development Focus Group chairperson. In 2019, I became an assistant principal and Director of FLEX, the alternative education program for Greenwood District 52. In 2020, I became a full-time assistant principal working with discipline, scheduling, curriculum and instruction, and teacher evaluation. Also, I served as the sponsor for Student Government, National Honor Society and Beta Club.

I have a Bachelor’s degree in Biology from Furman University, a Bachelor’s degree in Secondary Teaching from Lander University, an MLIS in Library and Information Science from the University of South Carolina and an Educational Specialist degree in Administration and Supervision from Clemson University.

Some of my favorite pastimes include reading, listening to music, spending time with my family and friends, cooking, traveling and exercising/working out. All of these activities help me stay focused, grounded and relaxed. My niece Camryn is a 2017 graduate of Ninety Six High School and is always a listening ear for me. The one thing that I want every student, parent, and faculty/staff member to know is that I am a relationship person and I enjoy talking, listening, and getting to know people. I truly believe that people don’t know how much you care until you show them how much you care. I am deeply committed to building strong relationships within our school community, as I believe this is the foundation of our success.

I am excited to be the Principal of Ninety Six High School and look forward to continuing to work with the Ninety Six Community. 

In 2017, I began working at Ninety Six High School as an English teacher and am currently an assistant principal and am responsible for testing, curriculum and instruction, and the teacher mentoring program. I am also the Director of Flex Academy, Greenwood 52’s alternative education program for middle and high school students. Prior to coming to NSHS, I taught high school English for five years at an inner-city school in Augusta, Georgia, and for four years at McCormick High School in McCormick, South Carolina. I was also an English instructor for three years at Piedmont Technical College and Aiken Technical College.

I hold an Ed.S in Educational Leadership from Arkansas State University, a Master’s degree in Teaching Secondary Education from Augusta State University, and a Bachelor’s degree in Communications from Augusta State University. I have Professional Leadership Certification as a school principal (secondary level).

On a personal note, I am “Nana” to thirteen wonderful grandchildren who live in three different states and I spend much of my spare time having fun with them.

I have been an educator in South Carolina for 10 years. I graduated from Lander University with a B.S. in Physical Education in 2013 and a Master’s in Educational Leadership from the University of South Carolina in 2019. After graduating from Lander, I taught PE for 8 years in the midlands area at Lexington-Richland 5 and Lexington 1. In 2022, I was offered the opportunity to serve as an Assistant Administrator at Richland Northeast High School in Richland 2. After 2 great years at RNE, my family and I decided to move back home to be closer to loved ones. I am currently an Assistant Principal at Ninety Six High School. I am an avid golfer and sports fan. I love watching movies and spending time with friends and family.
