I am a native of Florence and graduated from West Florence High School “Class of 1998”. I have always had an urge to teach, but did not pursue a teaching degree when I first graduated high school. I went to FDTC and earned an associates degree in Engineering Graphics and Technology in 2001. I worked in the manufacturing world for the next 13 years until I returned to FDTC and earned a Physical Therapist Assistant degree in 2015. I then worked in outpatient therapy until I began teaching at the Florence Career Center in 2017.  I am very excited to be starting my second year teaching at South Florence High School.  Going into my fifth year of teaching I am very excited to work with my students and explore the world of Sports Medicine and Therapy. I am excited to get back to "normal" after last year and what we all went through and I know the students and parents are too.  GO BRUINS!!
