A little bit about myself…

Hello, I’m so excited to be your child’s teacher! I have been teaching for 18 years and this is my 11th year

here at Southeast. I taught in Barnsdall, Tulsa, and Moore Public Schools before becoming a Jenks Trojan.

I attended University of Tulsa and Northeastern State University and graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education.

I enjoy being outdoors, cooking, exercising, reading, and being with friends and family.
