I am currently an 8th grade middle school science teacher.  I have been teacher 22 years.  I am a fan of nature and all things wildlife.  I tell a lot of bigfoot stories in my classes when time permits (Not because I believe in it, but because they are perfect for kids this age.  And mine).  I have a few pets at home, they range from dogs, snakes, cats, spiders,tortoises,  etc...).

I was born and raised in Jacksonville, Florida and moved to Virginia in the Summer of 2024.  I teach third grade at Hardy Elementary.  I have one daughter and a grandson and three cats.  I definitely miss the weather in Florida and realized quickly that snow is only pretty in movies and on television.  I hate how cold it is here!

I love sunflowers and being outside any time I can.  I like the beach, lakes and fishing.  I love going camping and gardening and playing cornhole.  I am a huge Florida Gator football fan and the Jacksonville Jaguars.  I like to watch Nascar and go to Langley Speedway as much as we can.

I am a documentary filmmaker and home gardener who has been volunteering at the North Carolina Botanical Garden for more than ten years.
