April Hall
I'm a single working mom of three amazing kiddos, ages 12, 11 and 5. I'm so happy to be back home in Oklahoma, after living for years in New York and Texas for college and my early professional career. After teaching high school English and History for 10 years, I am now an instructional design specialist at a career tech here in OKC. When I'm not racing to my kids' activities, I enjoy spending time with my large extended family, reading, exercising, listening to live music, and creating healthy meals for my family.
