I am so thrilled to have you in my class! This is my seventh year teaching
gifted education. Before that, I lived in Guatemala for a few years and
taught as a missionary in an orphanage. Additionally, I have taught in the UL
at Lafayette gifted program for nine years. My husband and I just moved back home
to Louisiana from Virginia, where he was in law school. I have a Bachelors
Degree in Elementary Education and a Masters Degree in Gifted Education and
Instructional Technology.
I love teaching with creative, relevant, and authentic experiences. I
won a national teaching award in 2005: ING Unsung Heroes Award—National
Excellence in Innovative and Creative Teaching! I am currently in the process
of having my pedagogical theories and strategies published.
