I am originally from Massachusetts. I graduated from Bridgewater State University with a Bachelor's Degree and a Master's Degree, both in education. I am K-3 Certified as well as a certification for grades 6-12 in Family and Consumer Science. I am ESOL endorsed, Reading Endorsed and Gifted Endorsed. I have been teaching for 32 years, all in the state of Florida.  This is my first year at L.A. Ainger.  I am coming to the middle school from Myakka River Elementary School.  I have a love for cooking and baking, so I am very excited about being the new Culinary Arts teacher. I'm looking forward to meeting and cooking with all of you!!
