I was born and raised in McAlester.  During my upbringing, I really loved my teachers and their passion for learning grew a passion in me to want to teach. In 2000, I graduated from McAlester High School and started my college experience at Eastern Oklahoma State College. However, I took a break to get married and have 3 children. In 2010, I returned to college to complete my Bachelor’s in Elementary Education from Southeastern Oklahoma State University. Two years ago, I decided I wanted to futher my education by pursuing a Master’s Degree in Educational Leadership. This past May, I am excited to say I obtained my goal of graduating with my graduate degree.
