Congratulations, Tammy Neil! RIVEROAK Technical College is thrilled to shine the spotlight on Tammy Neil, an outstanding educator with 33 years of experience. Tammy currently serves as the Coding Fundamentals, Web Design and Broadcasting Instructor at Suwannee Middle School. Tammy's journey in education began with a passion for teaching that emerged during her kindergarten years. Over the years, she explored various subjects, teaching math, serving as a media specialist, and eventually finding her calling in teaching Computer Science and running the esports program. Neil says, “From the moment I started Kindergarten, I knew I wanted to be a teacher. I did not always know what I wanted to teach. I started teaching math because I loved finding answers. I became a Media Specialist because the school I was at needed someone with computer skills. I started teaching Computer Science about 10 years ago. I finally discovered where I should be teaching. The fact that I get to also run the esports program is an added bonus for me.” Tammy's dedication to shaping the future through education is truly commendable. Her enthusiasm for teaching and commitment to providing students with valuable learning experiences make her a role model for educators everywhere.
