I was born and raised right here in Bradenton and currently live in Palmetto with my dogs Thor (black lab), Miley (shepherd mix), and Rusky (beagle mix). If I’m not creating something with my Cricut, I’m spending time outside with my family. I graduated from Florida Gulf Coast University in 2010 and I have endorsements in Primary Education, Reading, and ESOL. First grade is such a fun year with so many wonderful learning activities to celebrate. My most important goal is to create a family of learners in my classroom. I am committed to creating a classroom environment where the children are valued, trusted, and integral parts of our family of learners.
