A Little About Me: A native Floridian, I was raised in nearby Tavares and graduated from Tavares High School. I earned my Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Florida (Go Gators!) in 2008. I have been teaching since the fall of 2008, so this is my 18th year with students. Other than one year in middle school, my experience has been at the high school level teaching almost all levels of English and Intensive Reading. I pride myself in the relationships I build with my students and watching them succeed. Go Buffalo!
