This Team Tulsa Tuesday, we are introducing you to pre-K teacher Jyll Baskin!

Jyll joined Team Tulsa 32 years ago and has worked as a pre-K teacher at Peary Elementary for more than 20 years. She said becoming a teacher was a natural choice after growing up in a family of educators. Her favorite part of the job is building relationships.

"Peary has been an amazing school to work at, from the wonderful families we get to teach, my very helpful TA, Jamie Schrader, who keeps me well organized, to our amazing principal, Tessa Cross, who supports us and makes us feel like family. I feel like our school is a hidden gem and I wouldn’t want to teach anywhere else," said Jyll.

Outside of work, Jyll loves spending time with her family. Her oldest daughter also teaches at Peary!

¡Este martes del Equipo Tulsa, les presentamos a la maestra de preescolar Jyll Baskin!

Jyll se unió al Equipo Tulsa hace 32 años y ha trabajado como maestra de prekínder en la Peary Elementary durante más de 20 años. Dijo que ser maestra fue una decisión natural tras crecer en una familia de educadores. Lo que más le gusta de su trabajo es forjar relaciones.

"Trabajar en Peary ha sido una escuela increíble, desde las maravillosas familias con las que contamos, mi muy servicial asistente, Jamie Schrader, quien me mantiene bien organizada, hasta nuestra increíble directora, Tessa Cross, quien nos apoya y nos hace sentir como en familia. Siento que nuestra escuela es una joya escondida y no quisiera enseñar en ningún otro lugar", dijo Jyll.

Fuera del trabajo, a Jyll le encanta pasar tiempo con su familia. ¡Su hija mayor también da clases en Peary!
