I received my Bachelor of Science Degree in Elementary Education as a Highly Qualified Teacher {HQT} for Kindergarten - Sixth Grade. I taught for ten years as an elementary teacher in Second, Third and Fourth Grades, believing that children are our future and we should teach them well and let them lead the way.

My desire to advocate for students and families led me to earn my Master of Education Degree in School Counseling. I strive to be the school counselor I wanted and needed when I was attending elementary and high school. 

I have two wonderful children {a son and a daughter} who keep me young at heart. I love to laugh {its good for the heart, mind and spirit}. I enjoy learning, spending time with my family and friends, attending sporting events, going to concerts {because I love music}, going to the movies and car shows, shopping from the smallest things to the largest, and singing in my church choir {alto is where I go}.

My hobbies are doing crossword puzzles, coloring, traveling {whether it's by boat, car, bus, plane, or train}, cooking and eating, growing plants, like peace lillies, and ferns {the green thumb comes from my grandparents}.

I am thankful and excited to be a part of the Lee County School District and Loachapoka Elementary School.
