Welcome! I am so excited to be teaching Pre-AP English 1 this year. I'm thrilled to meet every one of my new students, who will become like family to me. Building a relationship is always my first priority and then I know I can instill a love of learning and hard work in each student. I look forward to fostering a love of deep thinking, reading, writing, and speaking in each of you!

A Little About Me
This is my 21st year of teaching- all here at VCS! However, this is my first year transitioning to VHS from the elementary school where I taught 1st grade for 12 years and 5th grade for 8 years. I'm excited to teach many former students again! I graduated from The University of Florida with both my Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Elementary Education. You'll learn quickly that I'm a HUGE Gator fan! I recently obtained m certification in English 6-12 and can't wait to teach teenagers- just an older version of the students I've loved teaching for 20 years!
When I'm not at school busy with my "school kids", I'm at home enjoying time with my family. My husband Eric and I have been married for 20 years and have two children, Kennedy (16), who is a junior and Karter (11), who is a sixth grader. They keep me busy with Kennedy on two competitive dance teams and Karter playing sports. We also love spending time traveling, at the beach, on the boat, or enjoying sporting events (especially college football). Our life is non-stop as I'm sure most of yours are also, but I wouldn't have it any other way!
Please let me know if you have any questions!
