I have taught at Bethel Public Schools for 18 years, teaching third grade. In 2019, I was honored to receive the Elementary Site Teacher of the Year and District Teacher of the Year awards. I am actively involved in our district's five-year site improvement plan, provide annual training to educators on new programs, and serve on various school committees. I taught Gifted and Talented classes for nine years and continue to play an active role in this area. My students consistently achieve top percentile scores in Oklahoma and at Bethel. I am a self-motivated, highly-skilled teacher known for my innovative teaching methods and dedication to continuous improvement. With strong management skills and a passion for organization, I am always open to new ideas and techniques to enhance my teaching.
