What/who inspired you to become a teacher? 

I've always wanted to be a librarian in the school system, when I started the library program at NSU they told me I needed to be in a classroom. I was hired by Janice Marr in the Alternative Education program for SSPS. I will always be grateful that she hired me and got me into the teaching world.


What is the best thing about working in the Sand Springs school district? 

I love working with SSPS because the administration really does care about the teachers and students. I don't know another district that has a SUP. that knows most of the teachers names.
