I have recently moved to Tallahassee from Miami this past year. I retired from the Miami-Dade School System after being in Education for the past 32 years. I am a retired Elementary Principal and am still certified with the State of Florida. I am very much interested in teaching young adults in the area of Elementary Education or Educational Leadership. If I can add to your AWESOME University, I would enjoy being apart of your TEAM! How do I go about applying? Fred Zerlin
