About Me

When I was growing up my dad was in the Air Force so I have lived all over the United States. I graduated high school in Hampton, Virginia, and soon after, I joined the US Navy serving as a Hospital Corpsman. After my time in the military, I was able to finish college and began teaching. I graduated from the University of Central Florida with a degree in Exceptional Student Education with a focus in Learning Disabilities, and completed my MEd from Concordia University in Curriculum and Instruction with a focus on Social Studies. I have been teaching over 20 years. This is my sixth year with NCS.

I am married to Mr. Vinni. We have four children: Brittany- who is a Pre-K teacher. She has three children: Donald, my grandson, is in the forth grade this year, Anastasia, who is in first, and Ezra was just born this March! Alyssa- is a cosmetologist and hopes to one day do hair and make up for tv and movies. Kai graduated from the University of Central Florida and graduated with a degree in Biomedical Laboratory Sciences. She is currently pursuing an education as a Physician's Assistant. Charles is the youngest. He recently completed high school and will be pursuing a degree in History.

As you can tell by the names of my cats, our family loves Disney. I used to live less than an hour from Disney World in Florida. We love to travel, and I like to scrapbook all our adventures. Our family loves to play games (yes, even video games), and our new favorite type of game is doing escape rooms.
