Deer Creek Elementary


 

Leslie Bravo
Speech Pathologist

 

Hello everyone!!  My name is Leslie Bravo and I’m the speech language pathologist at Deer Creek Elementary School.  I’m so excited to be part of this wonderful staff, and look forward to working with the students and parents at DCES.

I graduated with my B.A. and M.A. in Speech-Language Pathology from Oklahoma State University (Go Pokes!!!).  I taught in Moore for several years after graduation and then stayed home to raise my five sons—yes, FIVE BO YS!!!   Before coming to DCES, I worked at Frontier Public School in Red Rock, OK for 11 years.

My husband, Mark, is a running coach/consultant and a writer in the OKC/Edmond area.  And no, I do not run, but I love to walk and completed the 2008/2010 OKC Memorial Half Marathon.  I also love to cycle and am a certified PADI scuba-diver.  The ocean is a favorite vacation destination of mine.  My favorite activity, however, is spending time with my family. My 2 oldest sons are married and have blessed me with 3 grandchildren (2 of which are GIRLS).  I have 2 sons in college, one of which is a newlywed, and my youngest is a senior attending Stillwater High School. 

         I’m a third generation educator so you could say teaching is in my blood. Teaching children to communicate, to the best of their ability, is my passion.  I love children and feel blessed to have the opportunity to work with them.  We are going to have a fantastic year!!!
