Hello families! I received my Bachelor of Arts degree in Interdisciplinary Social Science with concentrations in Education, Social Work, and Psychology from the University of West Florida. I obtained my teaching certification and embarked upon teaching elementary school 11 years ago. I am excited to teach 3rd grade again this year! I love being a part of my students' development and growth. I am originally from Panama City, FL and I've lived in Houston County for almost 6 years. I enjoy working with children in any capacity and spending time with my family and daughter. My hope is to create a family-like community within our classroom that is inviting and full of life, learning, and fun.
