About Me - ProfessionallyThis will be my fourteenth year teaching gifted students. I started my career in Hillsborough County and taught gifted there for four years. Then I moved to Manatee County where I ran the gifted program at Stewart Elementary School for eight years and this is my second year at Mills Elementary. I have a Bachelor’s of Science degree in Elementary Education and a Florida Professional Certificate to teach grades K-6 and endorsements in Gifted Education as well as English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL). I also earned my Master’s degree in Science Education and Media Specialist certification (PK-12). I am excited to continue working with my students and their families this year.

About the Gifted Program |
Teaching gifted students is my passion! I expect a lot
from my students and they always rise to the occasion. My classroom is structured
around unit themes. Often times we spend a good majority of the school year on
one topic. We commonly focus on 2-3 topics each year. Each grade level comes a different day of the
week. This year I will have 1st and 2nd grades coming on
the same day.
