I grew up in Ocala and was educated in Marion County Public Schools. I graduated from Stetson University with my Bachelor of Arts in English and a minor in Business, and I then worked in the financial services industry for 10 years before becoming a stay-at-home mother. This is my fourth year teaching Language Arts at Osceola, and I am looking forward to another great year of learning. In my spare time I like to cook, read, travel, and spend time with my husband and kids (ages 16, 14, and 12). Go Chiefs!
