More about me
My Family
I have been married for 16 years now (wow, am I that old?!) to my husband, Curtis Nickerson. We have one daughter, Emily, who is in fifth grade. I have a handsome, lovable, and very slobbery English Springer Spaniel named Abraham. Then there is my not so lovable or slobbery but equally as beautiful cat named Nuzzles.
My Background
I was born and raised in Maryland, but we moved to Florida 13 years ago. My husband's job first took us to Pensacola for one year then Fort Lauderdale for eight years. Fours years ago, we were blessed to have the opportunity to move to the Lakewood Ranch/Bradenton area. We have always wanted to live on the West Coast of Florida, and we finally feel like we're home!
As for my work history -- I originally went to University of Maryland where I majored in Journalism. After years in marketing and writing, I felt a calling to the classroom. I completed my Elementary Education degree at Trinity International University and, well, the rest is history!

Interesting or Not-so-interesting Tidbits
- I'm a former Diet Coke addict. I've switched to water... and maybe the occasional---okay, very regular---unsweet ice tea!
- I love french fries, especially crinkle ones that are well done. Gianni's in Venice has the best IMHO.
- I'm the youngest of 5, two brothers, two sisters, and me. My oldest sister is 17 years older than me! So kiddos, when you think I'm old, just imagine how old she must be!
- I love the beach, which is evident from my classroom and house. However, I only went to the beach two times this entire summer. GASP!
- Last but not least... that picture up above? Well, that's my daughter, niece, and me at the 1D concert this past summer. Oh yeah! That's right, I rocked the 1D t-shirt and all. Okay, parents, do not be alarmed. I really am a responsible adult; this was simply a birthday gift for my daughter. I believe Parent of the Year is in order. :)
