I am two-steppin' my way to nearly 3 decades of being an educator.  Having started my own higher education journey at Hollins University and then to The University of Central Oklahoma to earn my B.A. in Psychology, I finally trekked on to The University of Kansas to earn my Ed.S. in School Psychology... I consider myself a lifelong learner.  I am currently working towards completing a certificate at ACC in Architectural CAD/BIM, and within the last 13+ years of working at ACC, I have served in management and now [5 years and going] in advising.  

Quick story... a couple of semesters ago I took my first certificate class while trying to balance this thing called "life"... oooh wee, let me just say that students make hard things look easy.  As you can imagine, it was an adjustment and at times, unmanageable.  But as I worked with some of you, I remembered how you have created a blueprint for overcoming and I had to push through.  Thank you.

There are a few keys of life that keep me motivated... my husband, my daughter and son, my puppy, and a tight beat over a smooth verse... I am ever ready to get on the dance floor! Outside of family, music, and career, you will likely find me volunteering in my community, working on interior design projects, and creating dream boards on Pinterest!   

let's...
