I absolutely love teaching.  It is my passion and my calling in life.  I have been teaching for 21 years.  All of my teaching experience has been in Broken Arrow at North Intermediate High School, until the official close of the school at the end of the 2013-2014 school year.  I plan on continuing to be a high school classroom teacher until I retire.  My students inspire me, make me laugh, and more often than not, it is them who teach me many life lessons!

I am enthusiastic, passionate, driven, goal-oriented, and positive minded.  I always encourage my students to work hard and never give up, no matter how difficult the task.

Every student is precious and has special gifts and talents.  I believe it is my mission in life to encourage young people and help them to believe in themselves. 

Spanish is the subject I teach, but overall, my objective is to motivate, inspire, encourage, and lead young people.

It is my pleasure to have these precious young people in my life, if even for a short while!
