I love teaching! I currently am blessed to share my passion for teaching little humans with future early childhood professionals and fellow passionate professionals as the Director of Early Childhood Education at Southwestern Oklahoma State University. I have served with my “boots on the ground” in early childhood settings for 29 years as a principal, library media specialist, and teacher of Head Start & grades Pre-k through 3rd. I’m blessed to bring some amazing women with me to present: Dawn Keller, Director of School Counseling Program and 15 years with “boots on the ground” in early childhood school counseling, special education and childcare. Robyn Randol, Director of Elementary Education and 18 years with “boots on the ground” as a principal, first grade teacher, behavior specialist, and a middle school language arts teacher.
