Welcome back Wildcats! I am excited to be your Preschool Director! This year marks my thirteenth in education, all of which have been at The Schools of McKeel Academy. My career began at McKeel Academy Central where I was a classroom teacher for over ten years. I taught Kindergarten, 1st, 2nd and then was the gifted and technology specialist where I got to work alongside teachers Kindergarten through 6th grade servicing their students, creating lessons with rigor to meet the needs of all learners, and implementing technology effectively in the classroom. This year I am excited to work with our preschool students on both campuses as an administrator and I cannot wait to see the memories we create together. I graduated from Florida Southern College with a Bachelor of Science degree in Elementary Education. I also have my Master's of Education degree from Southeastern University. With my staff and students, I hope to create an atmosphere that fosters empowerment, creativity, and responsibility in our classrooms where students help each other and are excited to come to school each day to learn and grow together. I am so excited for a new school year and to engage your child in learning and new experiences!
