This is currently my 3rd year teaching at AYE and I work with specific students in Kindergarten, 2nd, 3rd and 5th grades.  This is my 8th year teaching and my 29th year overall working in Education.  I taught 2nd grade at Emerald Shores and Maplewood and 5th/6th Grade VE ELA classes before I went to work for the School Board with our Curriculum and Instruction and Technology and Information Services departments. 

On the homefront, I grew up in Panama City, but have lived in Ocala for 29 years.  I have a 22 year old son and a 26 year old daughter who grew up and attended public schools here in Ocala.  I have a wonderful 3 year old granddaughter who brightens my days!  I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling, swimming, taking photos of nature and watching movies in my spare time.      

 I am thankful to have this opportunity to support your students this school year!
