The fall of 2009 begins my 41st year as a teacher. I taught 1 year at
Carroll High School in Monroe; 12 years at Midway Middle School and I have
been teaching at Caddo Middle Magnet since it opened!
I love 8th graders and Louisiana - so I love my job.
I have lived in Shreveport most of my life. I graduated from Woodlawn High
School. I got my BA from NLU. I got my MA from NSU.
My +30 comes from NSU, Centenary, Tech and LSU-S.
I live on the North side of Cross Lake.
I have two children - a son and a daughter. My son, Josh, graduated from
Centenary and works at SRAC as the Events Director and with various
theatre groups in the area. Josh and Megan will be giving me a granddaughter,
Kiden in October. My daughter, Savannah goes to LSU-S and plans
to graduate in May.
I love animals - I have a wonderful dog, Rascal; and three grandpuppies,
Samson, Chopper and Crash.
My students believe that I live and breathe Louisiana. I love everything
about this great state - its history, people, music, sports, food. Yes,
I am a Saints fan!!
To have fun with words!!!
