I am so excited to be here at Hawks Rise! I have been working in education for 20 years now. I began my career in Early Childhood Education, directing a facility preschool, then opening up my own Home Daycare. Later I went back to school and earned my Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education at Flagler College. I have taught 4th grade for five years, and 1st grade for one. I am happy to have graduated to 5th grade! 

I am a Tallahassee native, and graduated from Leon High School in 2001. I have been married for 13 wonderful years, and we have two spirited children. My daughter, Emma, is 12 years old and is in the 7th grade; my son, Cam, is 7 and he is in 2nd grade. I am proud to be a Dance Mom for Emma; we spend a lot of time commuting to and from Dance Fusion, but I wouldn't have it any other way! Cam loves sports, especially baseball; he always has an abundance of energy! My favorite thing to do is spend time with my family.
