I was born in the beautiful state of Hawaii and graduated from Lower Richland High School in Hopkins, SC. I began my college journey at Fordham University in NYC and later earned a Bachelor of Science in Psychology with a minor in Spanish from the University of South Carolina. After marrying my husband over 20 years ago, we moved back to Hawaii, where I pursued a Master’s degree in Community Counseling from Chaminade University of Honolulu.

Professionally, I’ve worked in education as a Career Counselor at Chaminade University and served as the College Access Liaison between Southwestern Community College and Jackson County Early College High School while living in the mountains of Sylva, NC.

Since moving to Charleston in 2011, I’ve been actively involved in my children’s schools—as a volunteer tennis team coach, front office volunteer, elected parent representative for the School Improvement Council, and PTA member.

The 2025–26 school year marks my third year at CCSMS, and I look forward to many more! In my role, I strive to foster communication, support, and guidance that bridges parents, staff, faculty, and the greater school district into a collaborative “village” that positively impacts every scholar.

In my free time, I enjoy playing tennis, gardening, reading daily, listening to music, taking mini vacations, spending quality time with my husband and my mom, hanging out with friends, and watching my kids do all the things that bring them joy.
