In 2001 I graduated from UCF with my Bachelors in Elementary Education. I completed my senior internship at Pathways Elementary in December of 2001 and began teaching third grade in January 2002. In April 2005 I graduated from Walden University with my Masters in Elementary Reading and Literacy. In 2007 I became a National Board Certified Teacher. I have been married to my husband, Anthony since October 2002 and we have two wonderful children. Chloe, born in 2005, presently attends Pathways Elementary and Vincenzo (AKA Vinny) born in 2009. I enjoy being active and I am an active participant in the life long learning process and continually work to reflect from the role of teacher to learner.
