Welcome Parents and Students!
I am honored and excited to be your child’s mathematics and or computer science teacher. My Educational Background:
Family Life: I am a native Floridian, born and raised right here in beautiful Pinellas County. I met my wonderful husband, Nathan, in 2009. We married in 2014, and our first son, Max, was born on December 30th, 2015. We welcomed our second baby boy this year, February 15th, 2019! We have two sweet pups - Roscoe and Charlie. We live close to Indian Rocks Beach and spend most of our family time visiting local parks, going to the beach, or just relaxing at home. Teaching Career: Over the past 13 years I have worked with a diverse population of students including special education, gifted, and English language learners. This will be my ninth year teaching, and my third year teaching at Plato Academy Seminole. For six years I have taught math and science at a public Title 1 school in Pinellas County. Prior to teaching, I worked as a child care specialist for the City of Largo Recreation, Parks, and Arts. Plato Academy's mission, vision, and values are what drew me to making a career shift from public to charter. In addition to finding a school that shares the same educational philosophies and values as I, I wanted to focus and specialize in mathematics instruction. I have a passion for mathematics, STEAM, and thoroughly enjoy teaching the middle grades. Middle school can sometimes be a difficult time period for students. I hope to help your son/daughter not only find success with math, but also make these middle school years positive, memorable, and fun! I am looking forward to working with you and your child in reaching his or her full potential. We will have many wonderful experiences and opportunities to learn and grow in the days, weeks, and months ahead. Communication and collaboration between teachers and families is essential to our students' success. If you are not receiving my weekly email updates, please be sure to subscribe to the right.
