College(s): I went to the University of Oklahoma and received my bachelor’s in Elementary Education, and I graduated with my master’s in School Counseling,

from Amberton University.

Education History: This will be my 10th year in education. I taught 2nd grade for 2 years and 1st grade for 3 years. This will be my 5th year as a counselor and 5th year at Huffman!

Family: My mom, dad, 2 brothers, 2 sister-in-laws, 2 nephews, boyfriend, and 2 pups are my whole world!

Interests/Hobbies Outside of School: During my free time, I enjoy reading, working out, being outside, shopping, dining out, and spending time with my wonderful family and friends! 

Why did you want to start the IB PYP at Huffman? 

The IB PYP program encompasses so many practices and ideas that I value. I love implementing teaching practices in school, that not only teach concepts that are applicable in school and to our kids, but that are used in their real lives and around the world. It teaches kids to critical think, inquire, and reflect, and all of those skills will make a lifelong impact and difference.
