I was born in Southern California where I grew up and lived for 32 years! I graduated with a Masters in Special Education in 2010 from California State University Bakersfield. I taught in California from 2010-2018. I moved to Florida and took two years off from teaching. After our home was destroyed in Panama City by Hurricane Michael in 2018, we relocated to Valdosta and have been here ever since. This is my 4th year at Pine Grove Middle and my 12th year teaching overall. I have an amazing son named Cameron who is in 3rd grade at PGE and the cutest little dog named Doug! I enjoy coffee, shopping, reading, and laying in the sun!
