Welcome. I am very excited and looking forward to a wonderful year. I am thrilled to be a teacher at Curtis. My goal as a teacher is to partner with parents to help every child reach their highest potential, not only in school, but in life. I firmly believe in creating a creative and safe learning environment where all students feel free to contribute. I have an open door policy and welcome parent (and grandparent) volunteers. A little about myself. I was born and raised in Florida. I have two boys, Corey and Brandon, who are attending St. Petersburg College. I love to read and spend time working in the nursery at my church.
