About Me

large view My daughter, Lori, and me.

   This is my 15th year to teach.  In my many years before I had the opportunity to go back to college, I had numerous occupations.  I have been a stay at home mom, a school secretary, a librarian assistant, a  percusionist in my church, and a ballroom dance instructor.  I love music, especially big band and jazz.  I was the vocalist for the Al Good Orchestra for 20 years, and am currently with the Floyd Haynes Orchestra for the past 6 years.  

  The most important part of my life is my family. My husband Tony and I have 3 wonderful (adult) children.   My husband and I were blessed with two adorable grandsons, Maverick James Simmons and Cohen Bradford Heskett. We are anticipating the arrival of our third grandchild (IT'S A GIRL!) in January 2012.  My family and I love to play all sorts of games and watch classic movies.  We especially love to decorate for the holidays.  My hobbies are reading and music. 

  I have my Bachelor and Masters degrees from Southern Nazarene University, and have my Principal's Certification as well.  I am taking a break as an adjunct professor at OSU-OKC where I teach Basic English Composition and Developmental Writing.
