I’m originally from just down the road. I was born and raised in Tulsa, Oklahoma. I graduated from Northeastern State University with a degree in Elementary Education with Early Childhood and Intermediate Math certifications. To ensure that I continue to develop professionally, I am a member of several professional organizations including the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics and the International Reading Association. I also attend several conferences or workshops each year. Recent conferences include Love and Logic, Guided Reading, Literacy First, and Dr. Jean.

We moved to Edmond from Tulsa four years ago with a transfer from my husband’s civilian job. We are very happy to be a part of the Deer Creek community This is my third year teaching 1st Grade at Prairie Vale. We have two children here at Prairie Vale. Alexandra is in fourth grade, and Joshua is in second grade. We are all proud to be “Antlers.”

My family and I enjoy reading, watching movies, cheering for the Sooners, and sharing time with our dogs and guinea pig.

I am so happy to be teaching first grade here at Prairie Vale, and I look forward to working with your students. It will be an exciting and wonderful year!
