I worked there from 2009-2013. I worked as a para-professional at Westwood Elementary in Greenwood for the 2013-2014 school year.

I love to catfish. My dad taught me when I was a little girl, and I have enjoyed catfishing ever since. I also love to read books. I am currently rereading “Linked” with my oldest son. My family loves to travel. We did A LOT of it this summer to make up for the previous two summers. We visited Mt. Rushmore, the Badlands, Crazy Horse, Devil’s Tower, Pikes Peak, Garden of the Gods, and Monument Valley. It was an amazing trip to beautiful places.  My favorite vacation spots are Disney World and Gulf Shores.
