After serving as 2016 Arkansas Teacher of the Year, Ables spent two years at the Arkansas Department of Education, working in public relations, family engagement, and teacher leadership under the Educator Effectiveness Division. “I have traveled around the state and seen a lot of amazing things in education. Park Avenue is a special place with a special staff that believes in all kids.” 

Ables has been married to her husband Timmy for 16 years. They have two daughters, Jessie and Stella. Jessie attends SJHS and is a junior high cheerleader. Stella is four and attends Park Avenue Elementary PreK. They love spending time outside together as a family.
