Welcome to Team nokota Language Arts 


Welcome to Cimarron and Team Nokota!  I bring a rich educational background, with a bachelor's degree in Social Sciences, a focus on Elementary Education, and a minor in Special Education. I also hold a master's degree in Education and Literacy and many other graduate classes and certifications. I'm proud to say that this is my 25th year in the rewarding teaching field.


On a personal note, I'm married and a proud parent of two wonderful children who are Cimarron alumni. My son Brayden is currently in college and thoroughly enjoys his work at a local golf course. My daughter Lauryn, a Regis Jesuit High School senior, is a passionate lacrosse goalie, playing for her high school and a club team.
