About The Teacher

     I have been teaching kindergarten in the public schools for fourteen 
years.  I taught in a private preschool for two years.  My degree is in 
Early Childhood Education which I received at East Central University.  My 
previous teaching experiences include Wynnewood, Oklahoma and Mangum, 
Oklahoma. In 2001 I was selected to attend the Oustanding Teacher's 
Academy and I achieved my National Board Certification in 2005.  I am a 
Great Expectations instructor and am thrilled to be teaching in a Great 
Expectations Model School!
     I am the mother of twin daughters, Darcey and Whitney.  Whitney is 
attending Oklahoma Christian University where she has been accepted into the 
nursing program!  Darcey is also attending Oklahoma Christian University.  
She is preparing for law school! I attend the Edmond Church of Christ. I have 
taught bible class to young children for over twenty years.  For the past 
twenty-one years, I have spent two weeks each summer in the mountains of New 
Mexico teaching teenagers about Christian living.  My hobbies include 
spending time with friends, interior design, gardening, looking for antiques 
and reading.  
     I am so excited to be a teacher at Deer Creek Elementary!  Being part 
of a GE Model School is an incredible experience!  The students and faculty 
at Deer Creek Elementary are outstanding! I am amazed to see parents so 
involved in their child's education.  It is a privledge to work with you!
