Currently, I am an author and illustrator of books for children. Before retiring, I was a National Board-Certified Teacher in Santa Rosa County, Florida. According to Florida's Department of Education, I was in the top 10 to 30% of all teachers in the State of Florida in Math and Language Arts. I was honored to be Teacher of the Year at Pea Ridge Elementary School. I was a district finalist for Santa Rosa County's Teacher of the Year that same year. I have thirty years teaching experience collectively in grades 1 through 5 and was a Highly Effective Teacher.
