About Me
I educate students, embrace them with knowledge, and teach them to believe in themselves as much as I believe in them. I foster the life-long love of reading by promoting quality, literature in every aspect of my daily presentations. I take time to learn about the students I teach and how to use their talents and interests to motivate them in an education setting. I remain hungry for knowledge and try to instill that hunger in my students.
I am a data-driven educator that utilizes data relevant to the decisions I make that impact student achievement on a daily basis. Identifying strengths along with weaknesses assists in growing the academic, social, and emotional growth of students. Finding what truly engages students is my constant quest. I love to learn and want my students to experience that same passion.
When I am away from my school, I love to read, shop, and travel. Traveling fuels my hunger to remain relevant and knowledgeable in a global workforce. Experiencing different cultures provides an insight into the customs, traditions, and values of various cultures. Baking and reading are my calm places in a chaotic schedule. Sharing sweet treats with others brings me joy. I love spending time curled up with my pups and a good book.

About Me:
In 2005, I had officially moved to this area after Hurricane Katrina devastated my hometown of Buras, La located in Plaquemines Parish. Soon after, I decided to make Lafayette, La. become the place that I now call home. Over the past several years, I have been an elementary school educator at several schools in Lafayette Parish and other surrounding areas. I am a proud mother of my only son. In my pastime, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, relaxing on the patio, and gardening in my flowerbed.
