I grew up in Miami and moved to Ocala in 1973. My three daughters all attended school in Marion County. I started my teaching career at Belleview Middle in 1996 as a writing teacher. I was an English teacher for a few years, a writing teacher AGAIN, and became the gifted/social studies teacher in February 2013.

I love this school.
