Biographical Info
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.
