My educational background includes a bachelor of Science in Physical Education from the University of Florida, a Masters of Arts in Physical Education from the University of South Florida, and a Doctorate in Higher Education from Nova Southeastern University. I have been with the college in a part-time capacity since 1984 and in a fulltime capacity since 1990. I began my career as a Physical Education teacher in the public school system and continued as Personal Wellness instructor after I came to St. Petersburg College. In 2002, I became an administrator of Project Eagle, three consecutive federal monitary awards exceeding 10 million dollars to advance learning anywhere, any time. I continue my love of teaching, although it is in the new arena of online teaching. I continue to teach Personal Wellness, Introduction to Education, Diverse Populations in Education and The College Experience. On a personal note, I love to run, water ski, snow ski, swim, and enjoy time with my husband of 27 years and two college-aged  children.
