It is going to be a fantastic year in third grade! I feel so blessed to be at Deer Creek Elementary. It is such an excellent school and district! Ever since I was a little girl it has been my dream to become an elementary teacher. I am so excited that I am now living out that dream! My true passion is caring for students and being a part of their growth and success.

I graduated with a Masters of Arts in Teaching from the University of Arkansas. Even though I went to Arkansas, I was born and raised in Oklahoma City. I am happily married to my high school sweetheart, Rex. Some of the things I love are watching movies with my husband, reading, hanging out with my family and nieces and nephews, quality time with friends, and playing tennis.

I am looking forward to all of the learning experiences that we are going to have this year in third grade! Every student is unique, so it is my goal to meet their various learning needs throughout the year. I am so excited to get to know all of you!
