About Me

• I grew up in a small town in Oklahoma.  I'm Sooner Born and Sooner Bred.

• I love traveling, watching college football, spending time with family and friends, walking and reading. 

I'm passionate about helping students grow in confidence, discover their individual strengths and discover a love for reading. I believe in creating a safe and loving classroom where students feel encouraged to learn and take risks.
