This is my 2nd year at KES and I love it here.  I taught Music for 18 years in Allendale County Schools.  I am a graduate of Columbia College with a BME and teaching certificate in grades k - 12.  I am the Music Director at First Baptist Church in Fairfax, SC where I lead congregational music, adult and children's choirs, a youth praise band, hand bells, and creative movement.  I am also a Regional Outreach Coordinator (R.O.C.) for the ABC (Arts in Basic Curriculum) Project.  I can not think of anything I would rather do than teach Music.  I love to garden and spend time with my 2 dogs, 3 cats, and 5 birds. 

                         My daughter, Lori Albertson, is a Gifted and Talented teacher at Marrington Middle School in Berkley County.  She teaches Language Arts and Social Studies.  My son-in-law, Don Albertson, is the Minister of Music at Ridge Baptist Church.  I have a beautiful grandaughter, Hannah Albertson, who is 6 years old and is in the 1st grade at Ridge Christian Academy.  My son, Jeff Neal, works in Atlanta, GA as a wiring expert for a big corporation.
