I am married and have two daughters.  I have a M.Ed in School Counseling from Augusta State University and a B.I.S from the University of South Carolina at Aiken.  I believe every child has the potential to be successful in every area of life when given the tools and support.  This summer, I plan to relax with my family and prepare for another wonderful at Millbrook.

To support our students’ social emotional needs and mental health, we are using a video-based social emotional learning (SEL) curriculum from . We're excited to share that you’ll be able to access this helpful curriculum at home, too! 

Social emotional learning is how students learn to process and manage emotions as well as important social skills. It includes everything from goal setting to stress management, and it provides both children and adults with tools they can use to express themselves authentically and safely. SEL helps students build healthy relationships, communicate effectively, and live a meaningful life.
