Welcome to 8th Grade Wildcats!  

First, a little about me: I graduated from Northwest Nazarene University (Nampa, ID) with a bachelors degree in Mathematics Education in 2001 and began teaching the following year. My first teaching experience was overseas in Taichung, Taiwan where I taught 6th, 7th and 8th grade math at Morrison Christian Academy.  I stayed for two years, then came to Lakeland and began teaching at McKeel Academy of Technology.  I taught High School Geometry my first year before moving to 7th grade math where I taught for the next 10 years.  Since then, I have taught 8th Grade Algebra 1 and Pre-Algebra.  This year I am please to add Geometry Honors to my day.  I absolutely love McKeel and can't wait to see what happens this year.  I am married with two wildcats of my own, both of whom are also here at MAT!

Please know that I am here for any questions that you have, all you need to do is email me.  


I also am the Staff Sponsor of the McKeel fishing team.  If you are interested in more information, please email me.

Go Lideris!
