I received my bachelor's and master's degrees in elementary and early childhood education from Louisiana Tech University. I taught kindergarten and fourth grades before joining the SEAS faculty in 1991. I taught third grade for 10 delightful years before moving to fifth grade in 2001. I have been an active parishioner for many years. My Catholic faith is important to me and sharing that with my students has been a joy. It has been a wonderful experience getting to know the families of SEAS and having a part in the education and spiritual growth of the children!
