Welcome to another school year at FDES.  I am super excited to be your 5th grade teacher! It’s going to be a fantastic year with new adventures, new discoveries, and new friends! This is my 12th year teaching and my FIRST year as an FDES gator! I am beyond thrilled to be at an outstanding school and phenomenal district. I have lived in the low country for the past 6 years and enjoy everything Charleston has to offer, especially the beach!  I have a 3 year old son, which is by far my GREATEST accomplishment. We enjoy exploring, spending quality time with family, and cuddling our doggie, Aurora.
