High School Graduation
In the spring of 2003, I received my high school diploma from Wade Hampton High School in Greenville, SC. I was 17 years old. I graduated as the 9th ranked person in a class of over 300, which is an achievement that continues to make me proud. I was sad to leave my family, but also excited to start a new chapter of my life at the University of South Carolina. Little did I know, my future students were just being born as I was graduating! It was a time of great change in my life. -
Got Married
After 3.5 years of dating, I married my sweetheart in 2011. We got married in a small ceremony at Table Rock State Park. It was a lot of hard work putting the wedding together, but it was a really beautiful and memorable day. My husband and I felt very loved and supported by all of the people in our lives. Everything went perfectly, and I continue to look back on this day with fond memories.
