I graduated from WHS in 2008. After HS graduation, I began college at SWOSU. During college I married my husband, Paul. Paul currently works in the oilfield as a diesel mechanic. I drove back and forth while teaching in Watonga, but I was happy to have to opportunity to come back home to teach in Weatherford. We have one dog, Tucker. He’s a Coton de Tulear, which is a rather rare breed. As a family we enjoy hunting, fishing, watching movies, hanging out with friends and family, and going to church. My Mission: My mission, as the GT teacher, is to challenge students outside of their regular classroom curriculum. I want to expand on the skills they are learning in class by providing lessons based on projects and themes which spark critical thinking, problem solving, and creativity.. Students will be asked to think outside of the box, learn the foundations of research, writing, presenting, and creating. Overall, I want to create a collaborative atmosphere where students can take what they know and expand upon their own imagination. Contact: Class Dojo App [email protected]
