I was born in southeast Volusia, and after 73 years of living here, have decided to make it my permanent residence. My educational background includes Faulkner St. Elementary, Live Oak St. School, and a few college credits, along with many rich life experiences. Professionally speaking, I am first and foremost a mother. My children are all adults, all very different individuals, and all nice people. I consider them my gift to the world. Beyond my family, my passion in life is small schools, which explains my love for Samsula Academy. Many of our Volusia schools are more than double the optimum size recommended by experts. That fact saddens me. In the words of the late Edward Kennedy, "We live on the future we build."

MY INSPIRATIONS: Helping children to grow, to reach their full potential, and to work with such friendly, amazing people who also share the same passions as me. Spending time with my family, and taking moments to relax, appreciate the simple things in life, and not forgetting the importance of laughter.
