About Nocola
Nocola has been an educator in the Calvert County Public School System for 30 years. During this time she has taught all grade levels from first through fifth. Nocola earned a doctorate degree in teacher leadership in 2011. She chooses to remain in the classroom because she feels that this is where she can make the greatest impact.

Nocola wrote Freddie the Flounder 29 years ago, long before starting her own family. She got the idea while teaching a second-grade reading unit. Her dear friend, and Calvert County resident, Cissy Langley, illustrated the story. During the height of the Coronavirus pandemic, Nocola decided to dust the cobwebs off the manuscript and publish the book.
Storytime has always been Nocola's favorite time during the school day. She thought it was time that the book she was reading was her own.
