It is a joy to teach in the Deer Creek School District.  I have taught over fifteen years. Most of my experience has been at the third grade level.  I absolutely love teaching third graders.  Helping students build their reading skills, learn multiplication, strengthen their cursive writing, and believe in themselves are some of my favorite things about teaching this age.  This profession brings enormous opportunities for me to learn and grow with the children everyday.

 

I attended Oklahoma State University where I received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Early Childhood Education.  I earned a Masters Degree in Elementary Education from Southwestern Oklahoma State University, and I am a National Board Certified teacher.  I also teach Early Childhood Education classes through the Canadian Valley Technology Center in the Adult Education Program.

 

I was raised on a farm in western Oklahoma.  My family was very small and only consisted of myself and an older brother.  I am a single parent.  My daughter is grown, married, and has three children.  Having my daughter and her family near in the Edmond area is a great blessing in my life.  Some of my most treasured times are spent with my family.  I also enjoy outdoor activities, gardening, and bike riding.
