About Me
Welcome to LEAP and Reading Recovery!  I am excited to begin our reading groups for kindergarten and first grade.  I graduated from USC Upstate with a Bachelor's Degree in Early Childhood Education.  I have a Master's Degree in Elementary Education from Converse.  I am certified in Early childhood and Elementary Education.  I earned my National Board Certification as an Early Childhood Generalist in 2008 .   I have been teaching for 13 years, this is my 5th year at Pacolet.  Several years ago, I was trained in Reading Recovery.  I enjoy serving about 8 students per year individually.  I am looking forward to meeting our kindergartners and first graders and helping them grow as readers and writers.
