I was born Clearwater, Florida and raised in Seminole, Florida. I have lived most of my life in the Sunshine State. I went to the University of Florida and majored in French. I can speak, read, and think in French. After I got married, I then decided to go to St. Leo University for Elementary Education. I also have my Gifted and Talented endorsement. I have taught for over 26 years between Florida and South Carolina. I have taught 1st - 5th grades. I am going into my 7th year at SOESMM.
