My husband and I live in Melissa. We have four young adult children who we enjoy spending time with--usually hiking or playing board games. We also have a new grandson who brings us great joy!

I graduated from Cameron University with my Bachelor of Science in Education and then from Southeastern Oklahoma State University with a Masters in Reading.  I have taught for 16 years in third, fourth, fifth, and sixth grade classes.  I love learning and continue to learn as much as I can about places we travel or about how to help children learn in new and different ways.  I am looking forward to this year at Jackson Elementary!
