Certified to teach early childhood (pre-k-2), elementary (K-8), middle school science (6-8), journalism (6-12), and English as a Second Language in Oklahoma, I am a pre-kindergarten teacher in the Oklahoma City Public School District. After spending 20 years as a journalist and digital media specialist, I'm excited to be in education! I'm pursuing an MS in Teaching, Learning, and Leadership with a focus on Reading and Literacy through Oklahoma State University (degree expected May 2023). I'm also interested in your thoughts on adding literacy and numeracy to the U.S. Constitution as basic rights.
