I have a bachelor's degree in Elementary Education from Palm Beach Atlantic University with specializations in Early Childhood and Reading. I am also certified with the Florida Department of Education. This is my 14th year teaching and my 8th at Morningside.

 

I am married and have two children. I love teaching at Morningside because the environment is so loving, caring, and supportive. I look forward to each day because I know it will be a true pleasure. I love teaching my students academically but even more importantly, I love teaching them about Jesus. Being able to begin each day in prayer and to pray for my students and their families brings an incredible sense of peace into the classroom. I also love having fun! While I create a structured and disciplined classroom environment, I also have many opportunities for fun and excitement during the school day.

 

Working at Morningside has been a blessing to my entire family. My daughter attended Morningside from 6th grade through 12th grade and has been prepared well as she begins her college career. My son has attended Morningside since kindergarten and is now entering the 7th grade. In my spare time, I enjoy scrap-booking, camping, going to the beach, boating, cooking, and spending time with family and friends.

 

My favorite Bible verse is Mark 12:30, "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength."
