About Me:
I'm originally from Buffalo, NY and I've lived in Florida for 13 years now. I am a graduate of S.U.N.Y. Geneseo with a degree in Biology and a masters degree in International and Intercultural Education from F. I. U. For five summers, I had the privilege of working at Leysin American School in Switzerland. I worked with students from all over the world and I had a wonderful time traveling and exploring the Swiss Alps.
Besides travel, I have a passion for teaching. My mission is to share my love of learning and exploration with my students. I enjoy the laughter and inquisitiveness teenagers bring to the classroom. To me, teaching science is fun because it can be applied to everyday life. My goal every year is for my students to say to me, "I never liked science until your class!" That's when I know I did my job right!
I also served as the Faculty Advisor for the PPCHS Key Club, for 4 years and this year's new Culinary Club Advisor.
In my free time, I enjoy reading, going to the beach, dancing and spending time with my family and friends. I am truly looking forward to the challenging year ahead filled with laughter, learning, and great memories!

PPCHS is really "Going Green!" Check out our Outdoor Classroom!
Designed and built by our own students and staff, this outdoor classroom also holds two herb gardens, which are growing wild with basil, cilantro, rosemary, mint and more! We even picked 2 green peppers the other day and I had them in my salad! It's a proud display of the hard work we do in AP Environmental Science and the amazing support of our school's administrators and science department.
