Social Studies Team


Hello, Wildcats!  I graduated from Bethune Cookman University with a degree in Political Science.  While in college I was on the Division I, tennis team.  I won district all four years of high school.  I have played tennis since I was 10 and continue to coach at the Plant City Tennis Center. After working ten years at Ford Motor Credit, I began my career in teaching and fell in love with it. I began teaching at Crystal Lake Middle School as a Social Studies teacher.  Then after 3 years at Crystal Lake Middle, I began teaching at MAT. This will be my fourth year at MAT.  I currently Coach MAT's Girls' Tennis Team for the 3rd year in a row.  I have one daughter, who is very dear to my heart.  I love traveling around the world and love to see fantastic beaches.  I am so excited to be teaching 9th Grade Introduction to Social Studies and financial literacy this year and look forward to an exciting year!
