5th Grade Team

Welcome back, Wildcats! I am thrilled to be your 5th grade science teacher this year!

I am originally from New Jersey but made the move to Florida to pursue my college education. I graduated from Southeastern University in 2005 with a Bachelor's Degree in Secondary Biology Education.

In my personal life, I enjoy spending time with my husband and our three sons. We love going to the beach, cooking together, reading, and staying active outdoors.

I hold certifications in K-6 Elementary Education and 6-12 Biology. This marks my 6th year of teaching, and I am proud to say it's my 9th year at MAC. Throughout my journey, I have worked in various roles: as a K/1st grade para, a 2nd/3rd grade para, a P.E. para, and as a 6th grade science teacher. Each experience has deepened my appreciation for working with students across different grade levels.

I am eagerly looking forward to an exciting and fun school year as we dive into the world of SCIENCE together!

Welcome Back!
