I have been teaching at Atoka Public Schools for 15 years.  I have taught kindergarten, 4^th grade, and currently I teach 5^th grade, Science and Social Studies.

I have been married since 1987, to Mark Finch.  We have 2 amazing children, Lydia and Austin.  Lydia and Austin are both graduates ofAtoka High Schoo.  Austin is a Sr at OSU, Stillwater, majoring in MSIS and Lydia is a Sophomore at SOSU, Durant.  I have two dogs, Annie Marie ( Rottweiller) and Trixie Poo (Yorkie).   I also have a sweet kitty, Stubby Boy.  As you can see I love my family which includes my dogs and cat.  My dogs are a true reflection of my beliefs.  I beiieve that everyone deserves to be loved and accepted for who they are.  I am an alumni of Atoka Public Schools and am very excited to be a member of the staff now.

One of my hobbies includes following my children to their colleges all over the place.  I feel it important to go show my support.  I am a huge follower of anything OSU, so I can keep up with my college son.   I attend as many of my daughters band activities as possible.  My children are my life and I am so thankful for them and the blessings they brought to me.
