About me: I am entering my seventh year of 5th grade at HNIS. My husband of 24 years is retired from the Air Force and we loved Navarre so much we made it our home. I am mom to three-two teenage daughters (sophomore at the University of Florida and junior at NHS) and a son at HNMS in 7th grade. I have a gluttonous chocolate lab named Belle and a labradoodle pup named Tink. I love all things Baltimore Orioles and Washington Redskins. I look forward to working with you as a partner in your child's education. It takes parent, teacher, and child all working together as a team to make this challenging year a success.
