I grew up in south Florida and received my bachelor's and master's degrees in Social Studies Education from Florida State University. Go 'Noles! >----,> I love all things history and geography. In my free time I love to read, travel, play soccer, ultimate frisbee, and swim. In addition to teaching, I also coach the girls' JV soccer team and swim & dive teams at Pope High School. I recently got married to my husband Phillip and we live with our two greyhounds Juno and Sable.
