OKTAHA

I taught at Oktaha School from 2009-2014. 

I taught PreK and also Second Grade. 

I am currently teaching ELA in Fourth Grade. 

I worked for Tulsa Public Schools for one year as a Kindergarten teacher and also substituted in Muskogee Public Schools before I made it to the very best school-Oktaha. I have also helped in our kids classes at church and have worked at KinderCares. I feel like raising our 3 girls has given me the best experience with children. 

I have been married since 2007 to Josh. He was an Oktaha Tiger. 

We have 3 smart, beautiful girls that also attend Oktaha School. Hadley, Jossy, and Opal.  They love being Oktaha Tigers and are involved in many activities such as church, softball, basketball, volleyball and gymnastics, They strive to keep their grades up and they keep us super busy. It is just a season. 

We have 3 dogs-Socks Branan (our outdoor Lab)  Buck Branan (our Schnoodle)  and Bruno Branan (Our Mini Schnauzer) They are my kids too! We also have a sweet outdoor cat named Roseabelle Claire and one shop cat named Strong. 

My hobbies are going to church-we go to FBC Muskogee and love it there. My other hobbies are raising my children and dogs. I like to exercise. I believe movement makes me a happier person. Fatih, family, friends, flowers, plants, water and coffee also make my world go round and teaching for me is a work of the heart.
