Fun Facts

I am an avid reader. At any given point I am usually reading 2-3 books on anything from history to biographies to political theory to fiction. I always carry a book with me because you never know when you will find yourself with an extra five minutes in which you can read. One of my life goals is to have as many degrees and diplomas as possible, which means I am a lifelong learner.

About Me

I have a Juris Doctorate with a certificate in International Law from the tulsa">University of Tulsa College of Law. I attended undergrad at Oklahoma State University where I received a Bachelor's in International Business with minors in both Finance and Economics. I have multiple Associate Degrees in French, Secondary Education, Business and French Translation. I lived in Nice, France for one year during my undergraduate studies.

Experience

I have five children - in grades 4, 5, 7, 9 and 11. I homeschooled a couple of my children for two years. I have completed my student teaching and am working on obtaining my teacher certification. I have tutored for other groups, and love helping students find ways to get excited about learning.

Approach

As a lifelong learner, I always try to find ways to make the subject I am studying both relevant and interesting to me. I have always had a passion for learning and I strive to help my students find that same passion. Regardless of the subject, I believe students can find some aspect of the material that is either relevant or interesting to them. I believe that the best encouragement to learning is to make it fun. As a teacher you must endeavor to make the lesson personal for each student.
