Hi all!

Professional Life
I am an Instructional Technologist for Putnam City Schools in OKC. I have been with the district for 27 years (currently in my 28th) in various roles (elementary, secondary science, gifted education) before moving to my current position 3.5 years ago. I love that I now have the opportunity to help teachers and students utilize technology to enhance learning all across our district.

Personal Life
I have the best hubby around and the most amazing daughters! One of my girls is in college working toward a degree in Nursing, while the other is in HS and attending a program in 2D/3D Animation. We definitely love all things nerdy - gaming, comics, Harry Potter, superheroes, etc. Our most recent family vacation was a week at San Diego Comic Con with 150,000 of our closest geeky friends. It was incredible!
