Hello, I teach seventh and eighth-grade language arts. This is my sixth year at Oak Grove. I have a fantastic family, an adorable fur baby named Lola, four amazing nieces, one adorable nephew, and three incredible great-nephews. I love reading and writing. Teaching is my passion and I am thrilled to be a part of the Oak Grove Eagle Community. Please contact me with any questions or concerns. It is a great year to be an eagle.
