Hello humans!
♥ I am so excited to be your third grade teacher. This is the year I call the first "big kid" year as students make the transition from being lower elementary students to upper elementary leaders!
♥ I truly believe that teaching is my life's work. I love teaching and learning every single day!
♥ I was born and raised in Florida...one of the few people that is a born and bred Floridian.
♥ I graduated from the University of Central Florida (Go Knights!) with a degree in Early Childhood education and have both my ESOL and Reading Endorsements.
♥ I have two teenage children that both go to Forest High School. My son is a senior this year and my daughter is a sophomore. They are both avid distance runners so I often spend my weekends at their meets!
♥ I love to read, go to Disney (I'm slightly obsessed), travel around the world, and spend time with my family and friends. I also LOVE chai tea lattes and giraffes.
♥ I am here to support you in any way that I can...so, please do not hesitate to reach out! I can be reached by email, phone, or Class Dojo.
