Biography

Education:
B.A. from Winthrop University
M.L.I.S. (Masters Library and Information Science) University of South Carolina

Professional Experience:
I have a background as an IT professional. I worked at the law firm Leatherwood Walker Todd & Mann in Greenville for a number of years. I also worked at the James B. Duke Library at Furman University prior to joining the Day School.

Why I do what I do...
I love the opportunity I have to indoctrinate students in the wonders of literature. One of my primary goals is to get students enthusiastic about the written word. Another huge role of mine is to get students ready to be ready to be discerning information consumers and producers aka research.

More…
I came very close to seeking a career as a primatologist.
I love to travel and explore the world. Before my junior year of college, I drove across the U.S. with a good friend of mine. It really kickstarted my love of traveling and finding out about the world. Since then, I have spent time all over the U.S. as well as Canada, Central America, and pretty much all of western continental Europe.
