2nd Grade Team

 Welcome 2nd grade wildcats! I can’t wait to see what this year has in store for us!  This will be my 23rd year teaching!!!! This year marks my 10th year teaching at SMA.   I previously taught first grade at a Kagan Cooperative model school. I graduated from Florida Southern College with a degree in Elementary Education. A few years into my teaching career I obtained both my Masters Degree in curriculum, instruction, and assessment and National Board Certification.  My hobbies are photography and baking. I have a family of 5 and 2 fur babies. Teaching is my passion and I love providing my students with fun and meaningful learning experiences throughout the year.  I cannot wait to begin this new school year, Go Wildcats!
