"This year marks my 11th year at Crooked Oak, a milestone that fills me with gratitude and pride. Crooked Oak is more than just a place of work—it is a community that truly feels like home. The students, families, and staff are exceptional, and their dedication, kindness, and support create an environment I am proud to be part of each day.
Being part of this community has shaped me both professionally and personally in meaningful ways. I am thankful for the encouragement, collaboration, and shared commitment to student success that I experience here. One of the greatest joys of my work is watching former students grow throughout their school years and eventually graduate as confident, capable adults. Seeing their progress and celebrating their successes never gets old.
Crooked Oak has had a lasting impact on my life, and I am incredibly grateful for the relationships, experiences, and memories built over the years. I cannot imagine a better place to show up each day, and I am honored to continue serving a community that means so much to me."
