Excitement abounds every day as I come to work at Westfall and am greeted by hundreds of smiling faces! My role at Westfall is to teach students who learn in unique ways and who may need extra assistance outside the regular classroom environment.  I truly believe that EVERY child CAN learn and that it is my responsibility to discover their learning style and what works best for each individual. 

I have accumulated the blessings and rewards of 30 years as an educator.  I graduated with a Master’s Degree in Speech/Language Pathology from Fort Hays State University in central Kansas. I then worked as a Speech/Language Pathologist in Colorado and North Dakota for 13 years.  I then pursued a degree in Special Education from Adams State College in Colorado.  Since 1997, I have loved teaching students with mild/moderate special needs. 

My husband and I moved to Oklahoma in 2007 for his career change, and I feel very fortunate to have found my “niche” at Westfall.  We have three grown, married children, and seven wonderful grandchildren!   They all live in Colorado, however, so those 750 miles of road between us are heavily traveled!  We love fishing, hiking and riding ATV’s in the mountains of Colorado and spending time spoiling grandchildren. 

I am here to assist students AND their parents!  If you ever have questions or concerns about your child, please do not hesitate to contact me.  I would be happy to meet with you.
