While I was in Tallahassee, I had a number of life-changing experiences that shaped me to be the educator I am today. The first was interning for a local Representative at the Capitol. There I learned how the State of Florida operates and got to be involved behind the scenes. The second was working with adults with disabilities transition from high school where I grew my passion for teaching.

I stayed in Tallahassee to get my Master's in Curriculum and Instruction for Social Studies. My focus in graduate school was how to integrate literacy into social studies classes. I taught AICE American History in Tampa before moving home to Punta Gorda with my husband, dog, and cat.  My goal as your teacher is to make this class as memorable and meaningful as possible to you. You will learn skills here that are useful in real life outside of our classroom. 

This is going to be a great year together!
