My teaching career has spanned over 30 years. I began teaching in rural Gadsden County, Florida where I taught kindergarten and first grade. I've also taught first, third, fourth and fifth grades in Leon County, Florida. I have been at Heathrow Elementary School for the past 20 years, having taught fifth and third grades.
I am a native Floridian--born and raised in Miami. My international flair comes from my parents who are Slovakian (Father) and Hungarian (Mother) as well as from my husband who is Greek. I attended Miami-Dade Community College and earned my AS degree in Early Childhood Education. I later moved to Tallahassee to attend Florida State University. Go Noles! I hold a BS degree in Elementary Education and a MS degree in Multilingual-Multicultural Education. I am certified and endorsed to teach ESOL (English to Speakers of other Languages) and Gifted Education. I believe in open communication. Please feel free to contact me by phone or e-mail.
