This is my 15th year teaching at Jacksonville Commons Elementary School. I have taught 1st and 2nd grade. I grew up here in Jacksonville with my father; a retired Marine, my mother; a retired teacher, two sisters, and one brother. I am the youngest of the four kids. I have been married to my wonderful husband for almost 11 years and have one son David. I am so excited to be a part of the staff of Jacksonville Commons Elementary. I believe parents are an important part of their child's education. I am confident that with your help, we will make this a great year.
