I have taught for 28 years in Oklahoma. While at the OU, I was a member of the Pride of Oklahoma Marching Band and concert choirs. After earning my elementary education degree, I have taught at Little Axe, Broken Arrow, Jenks, Putnam City, and Deer Creek.

Being married to the best man in the world, Larry, has been a blessing for 28 years and we have two wonderful sons, Zach and Cale. Zach is a senior at Oklahoma Christian and Cale is a sophomore at OU. Both boys love football and baseball, playing baseball at the college level. We attend Henderson Hills Baptist Church. Our family is complete with our dogs, "Beefcake", a yellow lab, and "Smokey" a black toy poodle.(the boss)

Attending my sons' ballgames is a big highlight,along with attending church, cheering for my Sooners, gardening (when it's not breaking a heat record outside), reading, exercising, and being a Mary Kay consultant, and traveling with friends and family. I also love history!

I am a member of Professional Oklahoma Educators, a professional teaching group and enjoy giving students the tools to learn and become lifelong learners. Mission For The Class All children can be successful and all children can learn.

I want my students to come to school excited about learning and looking forward to being there every day.

We also appreciate each others' differences and encourage each other to be the best we can be.

Our class rule is: We will treat others as we want to be treated.

My goal is for each child to become a lifelong learner.
