HAILEYVILLE

I attended Weatherford, Butler and Wilburton High School.  I graduted Wilburton High School in 1986.  Upon graduation I attended Eastern where I graduated with an associates of Science.  I then traveled to CASC where I completed Nursing school.  I then traveled to SOSU to graduate with a Bach of Biology/ Conservation.  I then attended OU and OSU where finishing a zoo biology degree by working at OKC and Tulsa zoos.  I started teaching at Panola Public Schools.  Going back to college I obtained a Masters of Education from ECU while teaching at Panola.  I am proud to be a Warrior now.  I love Haileyville school and the students that walk these halls.  I am by no means finished with my school as I am starting Arkansas in the spring to obtain my Doctorate in Forensic Anthropology.

I spend summers in workshop training.  AP biology, AP environmental science, and pre-ap middle school were this summer's large workshops.  Numerous one day training was scattered in between.  TI conferences in early March and NABT conferences in fall are attended as well.

I am currently teaching Biology, Biology II, AP Biology and AP environmental science.  I look forward to teaching an anatomy class, Ecology, geology, earth and Botany or Zoology.

Prior to Haileyville I worked at Panola Public schools as the High School and Junior High Science Teacher.  I worked with EOSC students in tutuoring and lab collections for the science department.  I helped start Booth Environmental and been around oilfield my entire life.  Living in rural Southeast Oklahoma I have a strong background in the agricultural realm.  We ran numerous head of feeder cattle and cow/calf pairs.  I raised show goats for a few years and helped the FFA Department with clipping, showing, feeding and general care of their projects.

I currently live in Wilburton.  I have one son that lives in the Panola.  Two of my four grandbabies attend Haileyville elementary.  Summer usually is full of workshops or continuing education.  I get greeted every morning with kisses and love from my 4 furbabies.
