A little about me…..
I grew up stomping barefoot through the Florida swamps, jumping over
quicksand patches, running from boar during the day and catching alligators
at night…lol. There were nine kids in our family, without counting the ones
who came to spend the night and never left! Continuing that tradition, I have
seven children and another one who calls me “Mom”…lol. They range from 21
years old to 41 years old. They have given us eight incredible grandkids, of
whom we are very proud! My husband is a retired Sarasota County
firefighter/paramedic. My heart’s desire was to have a degree in
Psychopharmacology, but instead I followed in my mother’s footsteps and
became a teacher. She piloted the ESE programs in the state of Florida and
retired at the young age of 80! Teaching has become my passion. I have a
degree in elementary education and hold certificates in middle school
integrated curriculum (core subjects), ESE K-12, SLD, SED, ESOL, and
Reading. I am currently considering a post graduate program for a degree in
Autism, in order to teach at the collegiate level. Down time is still
spent on the water and in the swamps, if I can help it...lolol.
