Hi Wildcats!

I'm thrilled to be back at McKeel for my third year, teaching US History, AP Government & AP Macroeconomics and Government & Economics. I'm a proud graduate of Florida Southern College and will be embarking on my 18th year teaching. I hold certifications in K-6 Elementary, 6-12 Social Sciences, as well as endorsements in Reading, Gifted Education, ESOL, and Civics. 

Outside the classroom, I love my role as a wife and mom. I've been married for 27 wonderful years, and together we have three amazing children.  Brady, is a Florida Southern College graduate and is currently pursuing his Doctor of Chiropractic in Marietta, GA. Baylee is recently graduated from Flagler College and is currently living and working in St Pete as an accountant, and Brecken, our youngest, will be attending McKeel as a 10th grader this year. 

As we embark on this new school year, I'm filled with excitement and anticipation. I can't wait to guide, inspire, and learn alongside all of you. Let's make this year unforgettable as we explore the fascinating world of history, government, and economics together!

Let's go Wildcats!!
