What is your highest degree and from what school? B.S. Early Childhood Education. Oklahoma State University

What do you love most about FWAFA? I love attending our fine art performances in all areas and seeing my students perform!

What is your philosophy? It is my belief that teachers are responsible for the learning that takes place in their classroom each day. I believe students learn the very best when they feel loved, respected, nurtured, and challenged each day. I feel it is important to encourage students to build relationships with their peers in order to have a positive learning environment. Through the combined teaching of fine arts and academics, FWAFA students learn lifelong skills and knowledge.
