About Me

Hello and welcome to a new and exciting school year! I am thrilled to be teaching 5th grade this year and continue to recognize the joy that teaching at Santa Rosa Tech Magnet brings me. The 2022-23 school year will be my TWENTIETH (20th) year at SRTMS! Wow! I've taught 5th grade for sixteen years and 4th/5th grade combination classes for a total of 3 years. Prior to SRTMS, I taught 8th grade Science at Las Colinas Middle School. Before pursuing a career in teaching, I worked in human resources, low income housing development, and banking. In addition, I have worked with children as a lifeguard, summer camp counselor, and YMCA staff member. I hold a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education from the University of Southern Mississippi, as well as a Master's Degree in Elementary Education from CSUN. I spend all of my free time enjoying life with my amazing boys, Peter(19) and J.T.(21). Be kind, be smart, be honest, be loyal, be happy!
