I teach Honors/Gifted English, and I serve as an Externship Coordinator at Chiles High School.  I am a graduate of Chiles, and I attended Florida State University for both my bachelor's and master's degrees. In my free time, I love to read, spend time with my family, and try out new recipes. I am also passionate about traveling, and I try to visit at least one new city or country each year. I thoroughly enjoy what I do for a living, and I feel fortunate to interact with such wonderful students and colleagues daily. I hope to be a positive source of encouragement, experience, and information in my classroom. Thank you for taking the time to learn a little more about me!
