I am so excited to teach the scholars at Monroe Charter Academy. I am originally from a small town called Hartsville, S.C. I received my B.S. in Biology from Johnson C. University located in Charlotte, N.C. I’ve always had a passion for education and it is my personal goal to build that same passion in my students. In my free time, I enjoy binge-watching documentaries on Netflix, and spending quality time with my husband and daughters. I also love cooking meals I learned on the Food Network and taking road trips to various cities whenever possible.
