About Me
I was born and raised in Central Florida and graduated from FSU with a degree in Elementary Ed and later earned a Master's in Curriculum and Instruction. This will be my 20th year of teaching, and my 18th year at Schwarzkopf. I am also a mom to Jon (12), Leah (10) and two basset hounds named Charlie and Sugar. Both of my children are involved in sports. Jon swims and Leah plays softball, so most of our free time is spent on the fields or at the pool.

Why I Chose Education
I have always been curious about the world and even as an adult, I still enjoy learning new things. I wanted to become an educator so that I could foster that same curiosity and love of learning in my students.
