After graduating, I earned my associate's degree in business administration through TCC and furthered my education at NSU Broken Arrow. I currently work as the Firm Administrator at a tax and accounting firm. I am also a member of the Seminole Nation and have been active in Junior Ocieleta. My husband and I, with our two children, moved to Claremore in 2013. Our kids began attending Claremore Publ
ic Schools in 2018 when they entered kindergarten and first grade. We quickly fell in love with Claremore. The community. The people. Everything. This is the best place to raise a family, and no one can convince me otherwise. I am so thankful that we are lucky enough to call Claremore our home. Even though I work full-time and keep a busy schedule for our household, outside of work and school, I am a "hands on" mom. I continue to be actively involved in supporting our children in their classrooms, school events and extracurricular activities. I was appointed to the school board in August of 2022 after the previous Ward 3 board member stepped down. It was an honor to have been considered and chosen. Not to mention, held in such high regard by community members, peers, and friends. Before I was appointed, I received a phone call asking if I would ever consider serving on the school board. I immediately began researching the position and what it meant to be a school board member. I have learned a great deal in the last several months and am eager to have the opportunity to learn more. I am humbled to be a part of a great team who truly cares about each and every child in our district. The adage- "There is no 'I' in 'team'." is the epitome of why our school board is what it is. It's not just about one kid, or one particular group of kids. It's not about one sport or one club. It's about our children. It's about our district as a whole. It's about how we can continue to grow and do better. We are raising our future community members. They deserve the best. I am hopeful that I'm able to continue this journey as a member of the Claremore Public School Board. Thank you for taking a moment to learn a little more about who I am and my why. More than anything, I appreciate the opportunity to serve our children! Every vote counts!!!
