I became a teacher because I believe every child deserves the opportunity to learn, grow, and feel successful. As a special education teacher, I am passionate about meeting students where they are and helping them build the confidence and skills they need to reach their full potential.

Working at Wilder Elementary has strengthened my passion for education. It has given me the opportunity to collaborate with dedicated educators, build meaningful relationships with students and families, and grow as both a teacher and a leader. Every day, I am reminded that even the smallest moments of encouragement and support can make a lasting difference in a child's life.

Wilder is a hidden gem in the Sumter community, where the administration, faculty, and staff are wholeheartedly committed to our students' success. Together, we foster an environment that supports both academic and social growth, embodying the true spirit of teamwork. The Wilder community is a shining example of what collaboration and dedication can achieve. It is an honor to be part of such an incredible place that not only values education but also invests in the growth of both students and teachers. I’m Wild about Wilder because of the amazing students, staff, families, and community members who work hand in hand to ensure everyone’s success!

Wilder Elementary School is a breath of fresh air. I remember walking throught the halls of Wilder for the first time. It was evident this school was a place that would set the foundation for a successful life for those who attend here. The students are amazing and kind. They want to succeed and are determined to grow in knowledge. The teachers are sweet, conscientious, and they love their students. I feel like our school is a place where every decision that is made has our students as the top priority. The sky is the limit for our amazing students. They are the reason we are all here! This is why I am wild about Wilder!
