About The Teacher

My husband, Bart and I have lived in Holly Hill since 1998.  We moved to 
Holly Hill from Summerville because of the family oriented community and 
close-knit friendships that Holly Hill could offer.  Our children, ManerAnne 
and Bartow both attend Holly Hill Academy.  
      The 2011-2012 school year will be my 9th year teaching at Holly 
Hill Academy and 18th year in the teaching profession.  During the 
past 18 years I have taught in a variety of positions and achieved 
some wonderful honors. 
     In December of 1993, I graduated Magna Cum Laude from the College of 
Charleston with a BS degree in Elementary Education.  I began my teaching 
career in Charleston County at Midland Park Elementary.  From there, I had 
the pleasure of teaching in Dorchester School District 2 for a total of four 
years. During that period, I achieved the honor of "PTSA Teacher of the 
Year" at DuBose Middle School for two years and received the same honor at 
Gregg Middle School my final year in Dorchester 2.
     When Bart and I decided to move to Holly Hill, I began teaching in 
Orangeburg Consolidated School District 3.  I worked there for a number of 
years until 2003 when the middle school science teaching position at Holly 
Hill Academy became available.  I have been teaching middle school science 
and a number of other courses since that time.  During the 2005-2006 school 
year, I received the honor of being named a finalist for "SCISA Middle 
School Teacher of the Year".  Then I received the honor of being 
named "SCISA Middle School Teacher of the Year" for the 2006-2007 school 
year.  During the 2008-2009 school year I completed the requirements to 
become a SCISA Master Teacher; thereby making me a Class of 2009 SCISA Master 
Teacher.
     I love teaching at Holly Hill Academy!  I have the pleasure of 
teaching, interacting with, and learning from wonderful children. The CLASS 
OF 2014 has graciously accepted me as their homeroom teacher and sponsor.  
And finally, I feel fortunate to be  working with an extremely talented 
faculty.

Mission Label:

Mission

In general, the goal for all of my science classes is to demonstrate 
the knowledge of specific science skills by utilizing the scientific 
method.  I hope to encourage my students to investigate the unknown.  I will 
challenge them to utilize higher order thinking skills with activities and 
technology.  Finally, we will have a fun and exciting year learning about 
the various scientific principles. 
     Fifth grade is considered General Science.  This year is dedicated to 
getting more indepth in the study of Life Science, Physical Science, and 
Earth Science.  Additionally, I will utilize another set of textbooks to 
supplement the main text.  
     Sixth and seventh grades will both utilize the Prentice Hall Life 
Science textbook.  Sixth graders will investigate the complexities of plants 
and animals.  While seventh graders will analyze cells and the human body.  
     Biology II is a continuation of Biology I.  We will begin the year by 
studying insects.  By doing so, I hope the students will be able to get 
started on their insect collections early and turn them in at any time before 
May 1.  Additionally, I look forward to investigating the complexities of 
plants and animal sciences with this class.
