This is my 5th year at AKPK as an EL teacher and my 24th year teaching. I am married to Cody O'Dell. We have 5 daughters and 1 son. We are members of The Fellowship Church in Albertville where I am on the women's ministry committee and the praise team. I have had the honor of teaching children in K, 3rd, and 4th. Presently, watching a child bridge his first language to his second and knowing I have given him the tools to succeed has become my life's work.
