HACKETT

I graduated high school in 1994 from Mansfield High School.  I went on to graduate with my Associates of Arts Pre Accounting in 1996 from Carl Albert State College in Poteau.  I took a little time off to establish my family and then continued my education at Arkansas Tech University with my Bachelors in Early Childhood Education in 2003.  I have since furthered my education at Walden University receiving 24 additional hours studying Mathematics.

I have recently received training in OUR mathematics and attended RISE academy.  

This is my 20^th year of teaching.  I began my career in 2003 with Fort Smith Public School teaching 5^th grade and 2^nd grade.  I moved to Hartford Elementary in 2007, and taught 5^th / 6^th grade Math, Science, and Social Studies.  I begain teaching within the Hackett School District at the Hartford Campus in 2015 and this year will be my fifth year on the Hackett Campus teaching 5^th grade Math, Writing and Literacy Support.

I love gardening with my husband and we enjoy canning salsa and making pickles.  I love to read, sit on the front porch and enjoy the mountain view, and I love to swim.
