About The Teacher

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!!
