Teaching has been my life-long ambition.  At the age of eight, I would come home from school, head straight to my room, and begin teaching my classroom of 4 dolls!  When I was ten, I joined the Future Teachers of Tomorrow and I got my first "real" students, a Kindergarten class at Flamingo Elementary in Hialeah, Florida. 

About me...I was born in Miami, Florida, and both my parents were also!  In May of 1995, I graduated magna cum laude with a Bachelors of Science in Elementary Education, 1-6, from Florida International University in Miami, Florida.  My endorsements are in ESOL, Gifted and Reading.  In 2005, I met my husband and we, shortly thereafter, moved to Panama City Beach, Florida.  In 2016, we moved to Ocklawaha, Florida with our 2 dogs, Zoe and Blu, and our cat, Seve.  We love living in the country and so do our pets!

Today I have the joy and privilege of being a Marion County Public School teacher.   I am surrounded by wonderful staff and great students.  It is truly a dream come true!
