Friendly and energetic pre-k teacher with 33 years in early childhood education. Motivated to help children develop social, academic, and creative abilities to foster well-being and progress. Well-versed in developmental milestones and activities to promote curiosity and engagement.
I returned to teaching during COVID. I learned many new skills for teaching my pre-k online as well as navigating meetings and communicating with parents online.
I had to be very flexible going between online and in-person teaching and my pre-k, as well as myself, adapted very well.
I was responsible for teaching my class of 26. This included small group reading lessons, interventions in reading and math as well as other areas a student needed extra help, and academic testing.
I am certified K-8 with special early childhood certification for kindergarten. I am also certified in early childhood education.
I taught in Oklahoma City Public Schools for 28 years. I have taught kindergarten, T-1, first grade, and pre-k. I have also taught fourth grade during intercession. I retired for two years then returned to OKCPS to teach pre-k for the last 5 years. I retired in May, 2025, to work in my family's business. The business was sold and I am wanting to go back to doing what I love, teaching children.
