I attended the University of Central Oklahoma in Edmond, Oklahoma and received a Bachelor of Science degree in Education, with a specialization in Special Education. I have completed post-graduate studies at the University of Central Oklahoma and at the University of Texas at Tyler. This is my twenty-third year as a teacher in public education. I have taught in both Oklahoma and Texas. This is my third year to teach for Troup ISD and I am delighted to be teaching at Troup Elementary. I love the motto at Troup Elementary, “Our business at Troup Elementary is to learn.”
