Hello Wildcats!!
Welcome to the 2025-2026 school year. I am currently the ESE Teacher for 4th-6th grade, and my team member is Tari Golphin, who serves students in K-3. Over the last 19 years, I have worked in many grade levels and positions at MAC, supporting the learning needs of McKeel. I look forward to working with all of my students and their families to make this year a success.
I hold a degree a Bachelor of Science Degree and a Master's degree in Curriculum from Florida Southern College. I am certified to teach all subjects in grades K-6, ESOL, and K-12 Exceptional Student Education. I have also earned the Civics Seal of Excellence for educators.
"Education is not the learning of facts, but the training of the mind to think." --Albert Einstein
Students are the leaders of the future. I believe that we must teach students to think through problems and become problem solvers. Students must feel safe and loved to learn effectively. I look forward to a wonderful year in learning.
Honors: Non-Instructional Person of the Year (2005) and Mckeel Academy Central's Teacher of the Year (2015)
