I've taught Fashion Marketing and Business courses here at LTC since 2012. Before teaching I ran my own small home-based fashion business for over 17 years. I am excited to bring the knowledge and experience from that venture into the classroom.

Interests/Family Information
I'm a Lexington High graduate and am excited to be teaching at LTC, where I was once a student! I love music, photography, art, reading, traveling, and spending time with my niece and nephew. I became an "Ultimate Outsider" by visiting all of our South Carolina State Parks and was selected to be an Artist-in-Residence for the SC State Parks! I play violin and guitar in a local band called The Restoration. I also enjoy going to music festivals and concerts. I'm excited to meet my students and look forward to a great year of learning!
