I was born and raised in Miami, Florida. I earned my bachelor's degree from the University of Florida in Gainesville, (Go Gators!) and began my teaching career.  I completed my master's degree at Nova-Southeastern University in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida and later moved to Clarksville. I've been here at Rossview Middle School since it opened in l998. I enjoy reading, traveling, shopping, shoes, crossword puzzles, and spending time with my family, which of course includes my dog, Peanut.  I look forward to an exciting and productive school year with my students!
