I am one of three daughters born and raised in Sabine Parish. I graduated from Negreet High School in 1988. I attended Northwestern State University in Natchitoches, Louisiana where I obtained a degree in Health and Human Performance in 2002. While at NSU I was an active member of LAAPHARD. I also had the pleasure of completing part of my teaching methods classes at the local University Lab schools. Prior to graduation I was assigned to Mansfield High School for my student teaching assignment. Upon graduating I actually chose a different career path for 12 years. I returned to my first love, Physical Education, in 2014, at Oak Park Elementary.
