Meet Dr. Phillips

This is my 4th year at Orange Grove and my 18th year in education. I love history and learning so much that, after earning a BA in History and M.Ed. in Social Studies Education, I returned to the University of Florida for one more degree. I finished my Ed.D. in Curriculum and Instruction in 2008. During my 18 years in the field, I’ve been a classroom teacher, professor, intern supervisor, researcher, and professional development coordinator, but I do love teaching middle school social studies the best!

My husband and I have been married for 13 years and we have two OG kids-Max is in 6th grade and Reed is in 2nd grade. We have two dogs and a cat, which makes for a fun, but full, house! As a family, we love to spend time together, watch college football and go out on the boat. I also love to read, travel, and go to concerts.
