Libby Wachter
Intermediate School Math & Science, LOTCs
Libby was born and raised just outside of Boston, Massachusetts. She earned her B.A. in Communications from the University of Georgia and her M.Ed. in Elementary Teaching from Boston College. After completing her graduate studies, she moved to Los Angeles, where she taught elementary students at a public Title 1 school before transitioning to an international private school, where she taught both elementary and preschool students. During her 10 years in Southern California, Libby got married and welcomed her first two children. She and her husband later decided to return to the Boston area to be closer to family. Back in Massachusetts, she taught elementary students at a private international school, welcomed her third child, and worked part-time as a Reading Intervention teacher in the public school system.
In 2019, motivated by cold Boston winters and a family business opportunity, Libby and her family relocated to Mount Pleasant, SC. She worked with her husband and father to create Carolina Park Academy, a preschool and childcare center, where she served as owner, operator, and curriculum coordinator for nearly five years. After selling CPA, Libby began searching for the right opportunity to return to the world of elementary education. She was excited to learn of the Intermediate School Math and Science teaching position at USL and is thrilled to join the team!
Libby and her family, including two dogs and a bearded dragon, are loving life in the Lowcountry. In her free time, she enjoys family movie nights, taking Pilates and adult ballet classes, cheering on her kids as a soccer, band, and dance mom, cooking, and baking sourdough.
