I have been teaching since 2014; I taught sixth-grade ELA and social studies at Pelion Middle School before being asked to join Beechwood and am so excited to be here at Beechwood Middle for its inaugural year!  I graduated cum laude from Columbia College with a degree in elementary education and am certified at the middle level in social studies. I love spending time reading (I read EVERY day!), knitting, hiking, traveling, and most of all, attending Renaissance faires!  I am looking forward to an exciting and productive year.
