This is my sixth year with Tishomingo Public Schools and my third year at the elementary level. I’m so excited to be teaching 2^nd grade this year! I’ve previously taught 4^th and 5^th grade reading and language arts. Prior to moving to the elementary, I taught 7^th and 8^th grade English at the middle school. 

This is my 23^rd  year as a teacher. I’ve taught grades 4^th through 12^th grades in Texas and in Oklahoma. 

My husband Jeff and I celebrated our 20^th anniversary this summer. He teaches elementary PE and coaches football, basketball, and is the head track coach. We have 4 amazing kiddos: Olivia (THS alumni and Murray State College student), Hudson (THS senior), Luke (TMS 8^th grader), and Kade (TMS 6^thgrader.)

I enjoy watching my kids in their various sporting events (which takes up most of our time!) I also enjoy reading, shopping, and playing golf. We are a sports family and my favorite teams are the Oklahoma Sooners, Kansas City Chiefs, OKC Thunder, and of course, the Tishomingo Indians!
