I came to Cement High School as a long term substitute in 2012. I loved the students and the staff so much, that when I was offered a full time positon, I knew I had to accept the positon immediately. I became the High School English teacher that day in 2012 and completed my last year as the English teacher this past spring. I am now the School Counselor for grades PK-12, and I am very excited for this new journey. 

Cement has been my first and only teaching position. I would not have it any other way. Prior to coming to Cement, I was a social worker for the Oklahoma Department of Human Services. I would say that my former career has had a major impact on my teaching experience. I am able to connect with the students on a different level and offer a different perspective on situations due to my background.

I am happily married to my husband, Matthew. In December, we will be married for 17 years. I am also a proud mother to two wonderful children. 

I love to read, spend time with my family, and be outdoors. I love to hunt, fish, go camping, and ride our UTV. My favorite time of year is winter and I absolutely love the mountains. The mountains are my happy place.
