I was born and raised in California and have lived in several different states from coast to coast. My husband and I moved to his home state of South Carolina in 2012 to be closer to family and raised our children. We have been blessed to find a loving and welcoming community here in Aiken and with SAPC/SAPK.
I have contributed in many ways to the school since 2014 from volunteering to working as a 4K Teacher, as well as serving on our School Board. I love working alongside our exceptional staff in upholding our mission to aid students in the development of their minds, bodies, and spirits.

I was born and raised here in Aiken.  I have a strong Aiken family history dating back seven generations.  At an early age, I discovered a love for working with children.  I began working in the St. Thaddeus nursery at eleven years old and babysitting for countless families.  In my teens, I was a ballet dancer with the Aiken Civic Ballet. After marrying and having my first two children, I worked backstage with the children for Crosby-Miller Dance Studio performances for almost thirty years. By far, my greatest accomplishment has been raising my children, Andrew, Jessica, Aaron, and Anthony Williamson. My oldest attended SAPK in 1992. All three followed and graduated kindergarten from SAPK. I joined the teaching staff at SAPK in 2022, working with babies. I then taught many ages through the years. I love my position as Assistant Director because I get to know each and every child and family that comes through these well-loved walls! I will have to brag about my grandbabies if you come visit me in my office! It may be a little obvious that I am in love with Maddox and James!!!

I have been married since 2006 and we have 2 beautiful girls, Kelsey and Kayla. I am a certified radiographer and worked as an interventional radiologic technologist for 15 years at University and Trinity Hospital. I am a member at Cedar Creek Church where I volunteered in the nursery for 10 years and currently volunteer in Kidz Worship where we engage elementary students in the word of God through skits and fun activities. I enjoy playing softball with my church, reading, watching movies, traveling and spending time with my family and friends. I am looking forward to snuggling babies and having a great year at SAPK!

Hello! I was born and raised here in Aiken. My husband, Tim, and I have been married for five years. Together, we have five children: Liam, Alexis, Kadence, Makenzie, and Connor. I’ve always had a love for helping children learn, from shadowing elementary school teachers in high school and pursuing teaching in college. With my youngest attending SAPK, I looked to begin teaching here. In my spare time I like to ride my horse to clear my head, and also enjoy playing softball and visiting the lake with my family.

My family and I have been blessed to live in Aiken for over twelve years. While living here, I have worked as a substitute teacher for Aiken County Public Schools, and I taught 4K for four years at SAPK. After a couple of years off to help renovate our son’s home, I am returning for a new adventure teaching in 2K. I have taught Pre- K and Elementary grades in six states before landing here in SC. I have my bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education, with an emphasis in Early Childhood development. I enjoy watching children gain confidence and master new skills. My family means the world to me. My husband Steve and I are now empty nesters as our son Charles now lives and works in Columbia, SC. We share our home with our sweet fur kids. Three dogs and four cats, and I am a foster parent to homeless kittens through the Aiken County Animal Shelter. I love to read, swim and travel with friends and family. I appreciate being a part of each child’s journey.

My husband Andy and I have been married since 1996. We moved our family of three to Aiken in 1998 from Tennessee. We became a part of the SAPK family in 2001 when we enrolled our eldest son in a 3k class. As our family grew to 7, each of our 5 children attended SAPK. Throughout the years my role at SAPK has changed many times. I have been a parent, a substitute, a Parent’s Day Out Worker, Kindergarten Aid, PTO Volunteer and now a 3K teacher. I have always enjoyed working with little ones and knew that this is where God wanted me to be. I cherish getting to be a part of your child’s early education and can’t wait for another great year at SAPK.

Aiken has been a wonderful place to raise our family. SAPK is my ‘happy place’! I have been blessed with the privilege of teaching many preschoolers.
