I have been teaching since 1992.  I am originally from York, PA. I graduated from Indiana University of Pennsylvania and began my teaching career at a private school in Ocean City, MD. After 4 years in Maryland, my husband and I moved to Ocala, FL where we taught at Romeo Elementary School.   I have been at Hammett L. Bowen Elementary since it opened, in 2006. We have 1 son named Reese, who graduated from West Port High School in 2018.  He is currently pursuing a career as a firefighter/EMT.  I absolutely love teaching, reading, and taking trips to the beach.
