I am a mother of two children named Nolan and Emma.  My husband, Brad Hamilton, and I reside in Knowles, Oklahoma. Some activities that I enjoy are reading, crafting, and socializing with friends and family. 

At  a very young age, I knew that I wanted to be a teacher.  I would teach my stuffed animals, friends, and siblings.  I was the child that always wanted to play school, and I enjoyed helping others learn.  In high school, I began tutoring some students, and I knew that my career passion was going to be in education.  

In 2005 I graduated from Beaver High School, and I moved to Alva, Oklahoma to attend Northwestern Oklahoma State University. While in college I became very involved in educational organizations, and I was deteremined to assist schools in need. I was president of the local Student Oklahoma Education Association and the National Education Association Delegate at the state level. During my time in office I participated in the renovation of schools in Florida, Pennsylvania, Washington D.C., and two schools in Oklahoma. Additionally I served on the OEA’s legal corporate committee and board as a student NEA delegate. 

 2009 was  a busy year for me. I graduated with a degree in Elementary Education with an endorsement in Early Childhood Education. Upon graduation I got married and became a first grade teacher in Beaver, Oklahoma.To further my education, I received my Masters of Education Degree in Elementary Education in 2011 from NWOSU.  

Teaching is one of my greatest passions in life.  As a first grade teacher, I truly enjoy assisting students in gaining all the information necessary for building a strong academic foundation.  Watching my students, grow, learn, and flourish is one of my favorite parts of being a teacher! I cannot imagine any career more rewarding, and I am blessed to have a career that provides me with happiness and true fulfillment!
