Welcome to K-2 ESE Resource! I love teaching so much that this will be my 30th year teaching at Killearn Lakes! Before that, I worked for 5 years at Woodland Hall Academy.

I have a wonderful husband, Carl, and three children; Travis, Amy, and Taylor. I am fortunate that all my children and grandchildren live in Tallahassee. My daughter Amy and her husband, Jon, have three sweet daughters; Amelia, Piper, and Elliott. My daughter Taylor and her husband, Tony, have a daughter, Julia, and a son, Conner!

I earned my Elementary Education degree at Stetson University in Deland, Florida. I am certified in Specific Learning Disabilities, and have endorsements in ESOL and Reading. Florida State University was a great place to earn my master's degree in Educational Leadership & Administration. In 2002, I earned National Board Certification.

I believe that successful learning is naturally fun, and look forward to a very fun year!
