I grew up right here in Tallahassee and then attended the University of North Florida in Jacksonville to get my degree in Secondary English Education. I previously taught 6^th grade Language Arts at Fort Braden School for five years. In that time, I obtained three endorsements that were added to my teaching certificate to help better serve a wide population of students.

In my spare time, I enjoy saltwater fishing on our boat that my amazing husband built himself. We go camping quite frequently and enjoy spending time outdoors.
