WEATHERFORD

I am very excited to be starting my seventh year at Weatherford High School!

I am originally from Prague, Oklahoma, but graduated high school from Seminole High School. I then attended Seminole State College, receiving an associate's degree in English. I earned my bacherlor's degree in English Education from Southwestern Oklahoma State University. I am continuing my work in the M. Ed. for School Counseling program this year at Southwester Oklahoma State University.  I taught sophomore English for two years in Mustang, Oklahoma before being hired at Weatherford High School.

My husband, Bart, and I have a six year-old daughter, Madison Lynn, and a one year-old baby girl, Kasey Jo. We like to spend time with family, friends, and traveling. We also spend a considerable amount of time outside--there's nothing better than some sun--and cheering on OU and the Thunder!

I am thrilled to be teaching sophomores again this year and know we are going to have a fun and fulfilling year reaching and exceeding all of our goals for excellence.

Things I love include: post-it notes, good books, good highlighters, milk chocolate, and good-hearted laughter.

Things I dislike include: frowns, sour cream, cottage cheese, meat loaf, and novels with ambiguous endings.
