My hometown is Independence, Missouri, the home of Harry S. Truman, our 33rd President. I moved to Florida during high school and then attended the University of South Florida, where I received my undergraduate degree in Elementary Education. Go Bulls! I taught in grades K-3. I integrated technology into my classroom whenever possible and realized I wanted to help others do the same. I received my Masters degree in Instructional Technology and became an Instructional Technology Facilitator. I love helping teachers integrate technology into their lessons and teaching children through its use. I just wrapped up my twenty third year in education. Time flies when you're having fun! My husband is also an Instructional Technology Facilitator. We have a daughter in fifth grade and two Boston Terriers that keep us busy.
