I have been teaching in Charlotte county for the past 16 years my focus has been Pre-K, Kindergarten and First Grade. I have been teaching First grade for the past 13 years. I have a Bachelors in Science for Early Childhood as well as a Masters Degree in Curriculum and Instruction with Reading Focus. I am Gifted, ESOL, and Reading Endorsed. This will be my third year teaching at Deep Creek. I love teaching children and guiding them as they become life long learners.  I live in Deep Creek with my husband and two grown sons. I enjoy time with my family, reading, entertaining, gardening and time on the beach.
