Mrs. James
Welcome Scholars! I teach AP Human Geography and AP United States History. I'm also the Academic team coach. I have been teaching at ASA and Aiken County Public Schools for 5 years. Overall, I have been teaching for 20 years and hold a Bachelors degree in Geography and a Masters degree in Social Studies Education from the University of South Carolina in Columbia, where I was a member of the Carolina Marching Band! I'm originally from Clifton, New Jersey, which is about 10 miles outside of New York City. Throughout my career, I have taught in the New York City suburbs, the Washington D.C. suburbs and rural Virginia.
My passion in life is world travel and learning about other cultures. When I was in college, I studied abroad in Aix-en-Provence, France and have traveled to more than 20 countries on four continents! I live in North Augusta with my husband, daughter and our two shih tzu's. In my free time, I enjoy working out, yoga, biking and watching Carolina sports. Go Gamecocks!
