About me
I’ve been teaching for over 20 years, which absolutely blows my mind! I can’t believe I’ve been teaching for one-third of my life! I graduated from Florida State in December of 2002 and started teaching the following January at the ripe old age of 21 years. I started teaching in third grade and was later moved to fourth grade, which I loved.
