I have a total of 18 years teaching experience. After I received my M.Ed. from the University of Florida, I began teaching in elementary school, where I taught pull-out remedial classes for grades 2-5. Then I taught Pre-K for 5 years, before I decided to go up to Middle School, where I have been in 6th, 7th, and 8th grade. I am currently teaching 7th grade. I am certified in Elementary Education as well as in Middle Grades in the areas of Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies, with an endorsement in Reading K-12. I am working on my Gifted and Talented Endorsement.
I try to make everyday an unforgettable day! I want children to walk away from my classroom with a love for reading, even if they didn't like reading when they first came to me.
