About The Teacher

  I am originally from St. Louis, Missouri but graduated from Florida 
Southern College in 2001.  Since then I have taught in St. Louis, Key West, 
and now Lakeland.  My husband and I moved to the southeast Lakeland area in 
2006 and plan to call it home for years to come!  
  My seven years of teaching include experience in 1st grade, 2nd grade, and 
6th grade.  In 2006, I was blessed to have received my National Board 
Certification.  This has already provided me with great opportunities to 
expand my knowledge and mentor other teachers! I will also complete my 
Master's in Teaching and Learning with an emphasis in Reading in August 
2008, just as the school year begins! 
  I've been married to my high school sweetheart for seven years.  My 
husband and I share our home with our two dogs, Bubba and Mallory and are 
anxiously awaiting the arrival of our first child in March.  We enjoy 
lounging at the pool, spending time with friends and family, and watching 
movies.
