6th Grade Team

Welcome to 6th Grade Social Studies!

I am excited to be your teacher this year! This will be my 11th year of teaching and my 2nd year of teaching at South McKeel.  I am excited to be a part of the South McKeel family! I have taught 6th grade social studies, 8th grade science, and 6th-8th grade language arts in both Indiana and Seminole County, FL.  I graduated from Olivet Nazarene University in 2003 with a B.A. in Elementary Education, along with endorsements in Middle Grades Language Arts and Science. 

I'm here to support you, so don't hesitate to ask for help. Let's make this a memorable and successful experience together!
