I received my bachelor's degree in secondary mathematics education from LSU. I taught Pre-Algebra and Algebra I in Catholic high school before my children were born. I served as a PK 2 assistant at Christ the King Preschool before coming to SEAS. I joined the SEAS faculty in 2010 and have been a Pre-K 2 assistant since then. I have 2 daughters, one a SEAS graduate and the other a current SEAS student.
