Hi!! I am from Louisiana. I absolutely love the LSU Tigers and the Saints. You will definitely see me wearing purple and gold. GO TIGERS!!! I moved to Florida to attend the University of North Florida and graduated with a degree in PreK Primary Education. I can't imagine doing anything else. I am very passionate about teaching and love being at Merrill Road. My second favorite place is NYC. I go at least twice a year. :)
I have a HUGE family that includes five brothers and one sister. I recently got engaged to the love of my life, Richy. I was proposed to at Merrill Road in January. I walked outside and on the playground there were the words Will You Marry Me in the fence. He knows how much my school means to me. Richy is an EMT, paramedic, and firefighter. You will most likely see him volunteering during fire safety week or bringing me lunch. :)
A few of my favorite things are: STARBUCKS, drawing, yoga, working out, singing (I really do sing everything...If your child does not sing, I promise they will start soon), LSU, sushi, tacos, hanging out with Ms. Hines (my best friend and team teacher) Yay!!!I am very excited about this year and can't wait to watch our classes bloom!!!

Hi! I am from a small town down south called Stuart right on the beach, born and raised a Floridian :). I moved to Orlando after graduating from high school to attend UCF, GO KNIGHTS! I then moved to Jacksonville Beach after graduating with a degree in Elementary Education from UCF a year ago, and I am so happy to be back at the beach. Jacksonville reminds me so much of my home town which is nice.
My family is a huge part of my life. I have two older sisters Lauren and Kristen and my wonderful parents. My mom is my best friend :) she is a teacher also and my idol. I have a wonderful boyfriend named Anthony I have been dating for 10 years since my freshman year of high school. We recently rescued a golden retriever named Chloe whom I LOVE so much :)
A few of my favorites/hobbies: starbucks, ice cream, beach volleyball, yoga, sushi, being outdoors especially at the beach, working out, and of course spending time with my amazing team teacher and best friend Ms. Hawas!!! (oh by the way I am a bridesmaid in her wedding YAY :)
I am super excited about this school year! I am sure you will learn more about me throughout the year and I can't wait to get to know you and your child. :)
