I was born in Hollywood, Florida and grew up in the North Miami area,
attending Norland Elementary and Norland Junior High. After
graduating from Miami Norland Senior High School, I obtained my Bachelor's
Degree in Elementary Education from the University of South Florida. I taught
preschool at A Children's Carousel for three years while attending Florida
International University for my Master's Degree in Elementary Education. Next,
I substituted and worked at after school care programs for five years. This is
my 24th year at Everglades Elementary. I have also taught fourth grade and
third grade.
My husband, Farrell, is Canadian. He spent 19 years as a chef there, worked for Sysco Food Services,
