I've been teaching since I graduated from the University of Florida in 1987. I've taught first, second, and third grade in Georgia and Florida.
I am a teacher who believes in creating life-long learners. I want to make learning fun so that my students look forward to coming to school each day. I want the children to leave the classroom every day excited and wondering what they will be doing tomorrow. Above all, I want each student to feel that they can, and will, be successful in third grade. I want my students to always put forth their best efforts. When students leave my classroom, I want their experience with learning to be an experience they will never forget.
