I graduated from Lakes High School in Tacoma, Washington. But I attended two other high schools, one of which was Tishomingo High School. It was my favorite. The other high school I attended was Lafayette High in Lafayette, Louisiana. 

I started college at University of Southwestern Louisiana, now known as University of Louisiana at Lafayette.

I graduated from East Central University in Ada. My husband, oldest daughter, and I are all proud to be ECU Tiger Alumni. 

I hold the following degrees: Bachelor of Arts in English, Bachelor of Science in Sociology, and Master of Education with a secondary English emphasis. 

I love attending workshops and learning new things!

This is my second year at Tishomingo Middle School, but I taught at Tishomingo High School from 2010 until 2015, when my family moved to Ada.

I started teaching in 1998 and have loved my career in education. I have taught at East Central University, Madill High School, Murray State College, THS, Ada Junior High, and now TMS. 

I love to be outside! Yard work, gardening, and floating in the pool are my favorite things to do at home. I also love to read. Mostly, though, I love to travel and spend time with my people. I have wonderful friends and a wacky family, and we love to do things together.
