4th Grade Team

I'm thrilled to announce that I've joined McKeel Academy Central as a 4th grade math and science teacher. With a Summa Cum Laude degree in Elementary Education from Florida Southern College and 6 years of teaching experience, I'm eager to bring my expertise to this new role. As an educator certified in K-6 instruction with Reading and ESOL endorsements, I'm committed to creating a nurturing environment that fosters a lifelong love of learning. My approach focuses on making students feel safe and valued, which I believe is crucial for their academic and personal growth.

As both a teacher and a parent at MAC, I'm looking forward to an amazing year full of fun and learning, both in and out of the classroom and meeting the needs of my students and their families. Let's make this year unforgettable!
