I was born and raised in Clearwater, Florida.  I attended Warner University in Lake Wales, Florida and graduated with a degree in Early Childhood Education.  After getting married, I moved to Gainesville, Georgia.  While in Georgia, I taught 2nd grade for 15 years.  My family then decided to move back to Florida which is what brought me to Stanton Weirsdale.  I taught 3rd grade my first year here and this is my fifth year teaching 1st grade.
