I will be entering my fourth year as a school counselor and my second year as the 3rd-5th grade school counselor at Orange Grove. I was previously a school counselor in Martinsburg, West Virginia. I will be working with grades 3rd-5th in the classroom but will be available for all students in the elementary school. I’m newly married as of May 23rd, 2020. My wife Sarah and I are thrilled to be a part of the Orange Grove family. We don’t have any children yet but we have an Aussie doodle Oakley, who thinks he’s our son and a Golden doodle Stella, who is non stop. I enjoy the following activities: working out, golfing, watching movies, going to the dog park on James Island, and staying active in the community. My wife and I are currently working on going to every Major League Baseball stadium, we have currently been to seven.
I will be full time at the elementary school campus and will be able to be reached anytime via email or phone. Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any concerns.

I am honored to join the Orange Grove counseling department this year! I will be working primarily with Kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd grade students, but I am always willing to work with any and all kids that are a part of the Orange Grove family. I work full time at the elementary campus.
I have worked in CCSD since 2009 at the elementary and middle school levels. I have a BS in Psychology from USC and my Masters in Counselor Education from The Citadel. My husband, Bill, and I have a three year old daughter named Addie who is attending the PLC this year. We love to go to the beach, bike ride, and travel.
I am looking forward to meeting and working with your children this year, and helping them to grow personally, socially, and emotionally. Please reach out anytime with any questions or concerns.
