I taught as a Pre-K assistant here at Krebs for 7 years while my children attended Krebs Public School. 

While working as a teacher assistant I attended college classes at night and finished my Early Childhood Education Degree at Southeastern Oklahoma State University.

I began teaching Kindergarten at McAlester Public Schools in 2014. I taught there for 7 years.

I then moved back to Krebs to teach Kindergarten and this will be my second year to do that. 

In total, I have been with Krebs for 9 years, but only 2 as a Kindergarten teacher. 

The experience I gained as a stay at home mom and later as a PreK assistant prepared me for my teaching experience. I learned so much from many wonderful teachers I was able to observe during my tenure as an assistant. 

I married my husband, Terry in 1992. We have been married for 30 years. We have three children who are all married. All three of them attended Krebs Public School. I also have three grandchildren. We have two cats and two grand-dogs. 

When I am not teaching I enjoy reading mysteries, playing the piano, Bible study, watching ID and HGTV channels, hiking and traveling with my family.
