Hey ya'll! I came to Lawton Chiles Middle Academy in January, so I'm brand new to the school and to Florida! I came here from Savannah, Georgia, where I was born and raised. My husband is from central Florida and we made trips down to visit his family and friends multiple times per year, so last summer we made the decision to relocate. I'm transitioning in every way: new school, new city, new state, new home. It's a whirlwind! Luckily I have a great team of educators here that have really supported me.
I received both my Bachelor of Arts in English Literature and my Master of Arts in Teaching Secondary Education from Armstrong State University in Savannah. I began my teaching career eight years ago at the high school level, and have since taught 9th, 8th, 7th. and 6th grades. I love being in the classroom with my students! That is the BEST part of my job.
In my free time (Hahah!) I enjoy traveling, painting, reading, cooking, working on film sets, and being out in nature. I look forward to getting to know more about Lakeland and the wonderful community that has already been so welcoming!
