What do you find most exciting about working with the Coker community?
After 32 years of teaching at the kindergarten through 5th grade level, coming to Coker to teach prospective educators was a natural progression for me. Teaching at the college level allows me to continue to positively impact early childhood and elementary classrooms as our graduates take the knowledge that they have learned to their own students across the state and elsewhere. Working at Coker truly is a dream come true for me!
