Our Administrators

I am humbled and honored to serve as the principal of Lugoff Elementary School. Born and raised in Camden, SC, I am a proud graduate of Camden High School (CHS). Upon graduating from CHS, I attended Clemson University, where I received a BA in Elementary Education. After graduating from Clemson, I returned home to Camden and taught 4th and 5th grades at Camden Elementary (now Jackson School) and Pine Tree Hill Elementary. While teaching, I returned to graduate school and received a Masters in Educational Administration from Winthrop University and an Education Specialist Degree in Counselor Education from the University of South Carolina. In 1998, I joined the Lugoff Elementary School family as assistant principal and became the principal of this outstanding school in 2004. Truly a life long learner, I completed my academic career by earning a Doctorate in 2014 from Walden University.

Outside of school, I am very fortunate to be married to my own personal gourmet chef, Reggie (who is an attorney by trade).  Together, we have one son,  William, who is also a Clemson graduate and works as a chemist, and are fur parents to a Siberian Husky who definitely lives up to her name, Storm!  Welcome to your Counts family!

I am so grateful and excited to continue my work with the Counts family as Assistant Principal. I attended the University of South Carolina, where I received a BA in Early Childhood Education. After graduating from USC, I taught 3 and 4 year old Pre-Kindergarten, Kindergarten, and first grade. While teaching, I received a Masters in Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment from Walden University and a second Masters in Educational Leadership from Grand Canyon University. I joined the Counts family in 2022 as a Kindergarten teacher and feel so blessed to continue my career here, as the assistant principal. 

Outside of school, I love spending time with my family. My husband and I have two children, a daughter, Charlee, who is a second grader here at LES and a son, Hollen, who is three. We all love our fur baby, Belle, a yellow lab. I look forward to meeting all of you and having a great school year!
