Meet Your Teachers!
Mrs. Emery
I grew up in Ocala, Fl and went to college at Florida State University. In July of 2006 my husband and I moved to Portland, OR. I love it out here in the Northwest, it’s great!
I am an avid knitter/crotcher/needle point enthusiast! I’ll always have a project that’s easy to take with me wherever I go, in case I get a few spare minutes.
If I’m not knitting, I’m gardening, cooking, reading, or writing. My favorite book(s) has to be the series “Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy”. My husband and I love to go for bike rides, play in the snow when there’s some available, and go to farmer’s markets around Portland. We play traditional Irish music; he plays guitar and flute, and I play fiddle. We both study jujitsu, which is the stuff you see in the UFC without the punching part. It’s a lot of fun to be the only woman and hold my own against the guys!
My husband and I are also both CrossFit Certified Trainers. We work as personal trainers at our local CrossFit gym. I love weightlifting and have started Olympic Weightlifting. So much fun!

Mrs. McHugh
I’ve been teaching for FLVS for the last six years, which makes me a dinosaur in the land of online education. Two of my children don’t remember any other “life” than having a work-at-home Mom with a phone headset on her head all day. Prior to FLVS, I taught in traditional schools for nine years. When I start to add up those years of teaching, I think more about the thousands of students I have been able to work with over time (probably around 4,500 by now.) Since day one of my teaching career, I’ve never doubted my choice to be an educator.
