My favorite quote is, “I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel” by Maya Angelou. These are my words to live by, because I know how true they are, and I try to be mindful of them from day to day. I love my family, and I particularly adore my mother. My nephew Quincey has stolen my heart, and I love animals (especially dogs and elephants, the only exception would be snakes). I also love to watch movies; new movies or old movies, I just love movies.
I teach because it is the BEST job in the world. There is a never a boring or dull day or moment, and I have a passion for middle school students who I get to engage with on a daily basis! We are living and learning! TSAS + middle schoolers = a magical carpet ride, and I am highly committed to the ride.

My family comes from Tulsa, my great-great grandmother lived here in Owen Park, and I grew up in a small Oklahoma community, graduating from Indianola High School, a close-knit school with a graduating class of just 20 students. My family encouraged me to explore a wide range of stories and ideas-from classic books to shows like Scooby-Doo-which is not just my comfort show but also helped shape my curiosity and open-mindedness. In college, I served as Vice President of the Stonewall Equality Alliance, an experience that deepened my commitment to advocacy and inclusivity. I bring that same passion to the classroom, helping students develop as thoughtful thinkers and confident communicators.
I do this work because stories open doors and create opportunities to better understand one another, but that alone isn’t enough-students must also develop the skills to read, write, think critically, and advocate for themselves. Without these skills, their futures will be shaped by others who don’t have their best interests at heart. Teaching isn’t just about sharing knowledge; it’s about empowering students to become active participants in their own lives and communities.
