I am delighted to say that I have been teaching in public schools for over 24 years with 14 years of experience teaching art. I have certifications in Art K-12, Elementary Education 1-6, Middle Grades Integrated Curriculum 5-9, Middle Grades Math 5-9, Exceptional Student Education K-12, Pre-K/ Primary -Age 3 to Grade 3 and am E.S.O.L. endorsed. I began my career in general education, but teaching art is my passion. I truly believe artists are the greatest of all innovators and strive to encourage my students to use their creative minds every day. My husband and I live locally in Port Orange. We have three children, a student here in Volusia County Schools, a student at the University of South Florida and a local boat captain.
