Biography
I enjoy meeting with my students in my FTF and virtual classrooms, and I'm constantly learning FROM my students as well teaching them. Playing the piano and singing have been my lifelong hobbies. I love boating, cooking, going to the movies, and listening to my husband play jazz. In addition, I enjoy reading books of all genres, and I have a wonderful family: a husband, a daughter, a son, a son-in-law, and three adorable granddaughters. This semester, I look forward to having you in my class because we're going to have a great semester!
As part of the St. Petersburg College family, you will learn information and skills that will stay with you for the rest of your life. Learning is not just about books and tests; it's about changes that happen within you as we interact daily--you will look at life differently and realize that success is within your reach. Let's get started.
