About Me
This will be my 11th year teaching 6th grade here at VCMS, and it is my 17th year teaching middle schoolers. Even though I was born in Cocoa Beach, FL, I grew up in Western Pennsylvania (Go Steelers!), and I earned my secondary education degree at Penn State (WE ARE!). I have my Masters Degree in English from Slippery Rock University in Pennsylvania (yes, this is real place!). My husband Mike and I are high school sweethearts, and we lived in the Washington, D.C. area and Jupiter, FL before settling down with our 5 children here in Central Florida. This year, we will have a 3rd grader, a 7th grader, a high school sophomore, and a high school junior here at VCS, while our oldest child will be a college freshmen at the University of Florida (Go Gators!). I absolutely love working here and watching my children grow up with yours. GO BUFFALO!
