Hello Raiders! 

I am a native Floridian who grew up right here in Sumter County. I attended Webster Elementary School, South Sumter Middle School, and South Sumter High School. I graduated from the University of Florida in 2004 with a Bachelor of Arts in Crimnology. I also have a master's degree in American History from Pace University, which I completed in 2020.

I have been teaching since 2004, and since that time I have taught American history, civics, world history, AP Macroeconomics, AP Human Geography, AP Government and Politics, AICE US History, and AICE Psychology. As you can see, I love all subjects within social studies and I enjoy seeing how they all connect. For the 24-25 school year, I am also serving as junior class sponsor. 

I am married and have two daughters. I am active in my church and I enjoy spending time with family. I also enjoy gardening and raising chickens.
