My name is Deidre Tarte. I have been a nurse for 23 years. I graduated from Lake View High School in 1997. I then attended Marion Mullins Vocational School from 1999-2001, where I obtained my Practical Nursing License. In 2016, I decided to further my education and began attending Florence Darlington Technical College from 2016-2018, where I obtained my associates degree in nursing. I have been with Marion County School District for 13 years and at North Mullins Primary for the past 7 years.
When I'm not working, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. I was raised and currently live in Lake View, SC with my husband Joe, and my 2 kids, Taylor and Hunter.
I look forward to taking care of each and every student here at North Mullins Primary.
