I started teaching at Oktaha Scool in 1990. I took a three year leave from 2013-2016. This year is starting my 28th year teaching here! I teach 4th grade Math, Science, and Social Studies. I love my job as a teacher and I love this school system!
Oktaha School is the only place I have taught. During my three year leave, I attended Cosmetology school at Paul Mitchell in Tulsa. I opened my own shop here at Oktaha and was a hair stylist for two years. I missed teaching and wanted to come back to the classroom, so here I am! I am glad to be back to my first love as a professional, teaching!
I am married. I got married in 1982 to my husband Chris. We have 4 children and 8 grandchildren! All of my children went to school here at Oktaha and graduated from here as well. I have 1 dog, 8 horses, and several barn cats.
My most favorite hobby in the whole wide world is barrel racing!
I also love four wheeling with my family and fishing.
When I’m not teaching, usually I am messing around with my horses.
