I believe heavily in the saying &#8220;Don&#8217;t judge a book by it&#8217;s cover&#8221; but I also believe Elle from Legally Blonde when she says &#8220;Books with tattered covers (or boring books) stay on the shelves.&#8221; So I hope you find the cover to my book interesting enough for a read.  I am newly married with a young step-son, as well as a dog and a pet turtle.  I am an Alumni of UNF with a Bachelor&#8217;s degree in Elementary Ed. and a Florida State Staff Credential in Early Childhood Ed. I am currently a VPK teacher to 4 and 5 year olds at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unf.edu\/preschool\/index.html\">UNF Preschool<\/a> , but I have taught in many other schools and many other grades. I have been teaching for about 7 years, but unfortunately the system has taken it&#8217;s toll on me and I will be leaving the profession very soon. I am currently studying Library sciences here at FSU with the intent of becoming a children&#8217;s librarian (hey, I can&#8217;t be expected to give up working with kids forever!). As far as hobbies go, I love to cook and bake with friends and family and I like trying my hand at making my own versions of my family&#8217;s favorite foods (Oreos, fruit snacks, birria tacos, bread, etc). I also am a ballroom dancer with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.monarchballroomdance.com\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"http:\/\/www.monarchballroomdance.com\/\">Monarch Ballroom <\/a> here in Jacksonville. Some of my favorite dances include; Salsa, Bachata, Swing, Waltz, Cha Cha, and Rumba. Finally, I also have a love for all things books, reading, and learning! While I love the feel of a physical book in my hands, I have come to appreciate the use of eBooks and audio books- I am a big fan of Audible! This concludes the &#8220;summary&#8221; on my personal book cover. I hope you enjoyed the brief glimpse of me- I can&#8217;t wait to get to work with and get to know you all. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/torch.cci.fsu.edu\/~lis5313\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_1723-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6809\" style=\"width:245px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/torch.cci.fsu.edu\/~lis5313\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_1723-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/torch.cci.fsu.edu\/~lis5313\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_1723-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/torch.cci.fsu.edu\/~lis5313\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_1723-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/torch.cci.fsu.edu\/~lis5313\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_1723-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/torch.cci.fsu.edu\/~lis5313\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_1723-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello All!
