I was born and raised in Georgetown, SC, and attended Georgetown County schools. Graduating in 1974, I attended the College of Charleston where I double majored in Elementary Education and Special Education. The first five and a half years of teaching were in Charleston County schools upon which I returned to Georgetown and began teaching at Beck Middle School.
I married Jim Hooks, a Physical Edcation teacher here in GCSD, in 1988 and we have two children. My son, Stuart, graduated from Clemson and is an accountant in Florence, SC. My daughter, Julia, is a recent graduate of the College of Charleston.
I enjoy traveling, cooking, gardening, and reading. I have traveled to the Bahamas, Mexico, U.K., Ireland, France, and Italy. My goal is to explore more of the United States and Canada.
