This is my 5th year at AC Jones High School. This year I will be teaching US History, AP US History and AP World History.
Before becoming a teacher, I worked as a print journalist in Oklahoma City, Ok. As a beat reporter for the state’s largest newspaper, I covered everything from breaking news to education. Those ten years of covering the high and lows of the lives of others had a profound effect on my views about life. The biggest being that life is precious and so long as there is life, there is hope.
When I am not working, I love to paint. A handful of my paintings hang in my classroom. Art is my first love. I am also a voracious consumer of news. Any given day, I consume several articles of news from a variety of news sources. I also love reading books about Latin, English and Ancient history.
