About The Teacher

As I begin my fifth year at FJH, I realize that I can no longer claim to be 
new to the Northshore.  Yes, my family and I did float up, and down, after 
the menace known as Katrina.  But we are now bona fide residents of St. 
Tammany, and we are here to stay.  I have two sons, one cat, and a patient, 
hardworking husband.  I love to watch the hummingbirds, cardinals, and 
numerous  other songbirds in my backyard as I attack the daily crossword 
puzzles and sudokus.  I have also reconnected to my inner-greenthumb and am 
once again getting "down and dirty" in my gardens.  I am an avid baseball 
fan and continue to pursue my life-long dream of visiting every major league 
baseball park.  
This year marks my twelfth as a teacher including five years as a sixth 
grade teacher and two as a teacher of the Gifted in my home Parish of St. 
Bernard.  I was warmly welcomed into the family of the Fontainebleau faculty 
in October of 2005 and have felt at home ever since.
