Mrs. Parks

I graduated from Arkansas Tech and then married my high school sweetheart, Brad. We have been married for 13 years. We have two wonderful kids, Aria and Ian.  I was a substitute teacher at the Primary school while my kids were young and then when they both were in school I got a full time job at Morrilton High School as the Paraprofessional in the Library. I am also a Dyslexia Therapist. I have been working here for 7 years. I love spending my days surrounded by books and helping students learn how to read better.
