I am excited to be the School Counselor at Deer Creek Elementary School. This will be my third year at Deer Creek Elementary School. It is my goal to guide students as they learn to build strong healthy relationships within a positive, caring environment.

I have been married to my husband, Mike, for twenty-nine years and we have three children. Michael is newly married to our daughter-in-law, Jennifer. He currently is the manager for Johnny Carino’s restaurant in Tulsa. Our daughter, Sarah, works at OU Medical Center where she is a RN/BSN in the “Women’s Special Care” unit. Joshua will be a sophomore this year at Deer Creek High School where he serves as the Drum Major for the band program. I graduated from the University of Central Oklahoma in 1980 with a degree in Education. In 2002, I completed my Master’s degree in Early Childhood Education and have since completed my Master’s in School Guidance and Counseling.

The counseling program at Deer Creek Elementary School includes regularly scheduled guidance classes within the classroom setting. During our time together, I will be working with the children in the areas of social and personal development, career education, and the school-wide anti-bullying program is also implemented through the classroom guidance lessons. Small groups are offered during the school year to reinforce social skills, study skills, changing family dynamics or other topics as they arise. Individual counseling can be implemented at the request of a parent, if needed.

My other responsibilities at Deer Creek Elementary include New Kids Club, Antler Ambassadors, Generation to Generation, and Student Council. To find out more information about these programs, please visit other areas of our website.
