1. My Life My Family My Career

2. Hello! I would like to take this opportunity to tell you a little bit about myself. First and foremost, I am very excited to complete my Master's Degree in Educational Technology Leadership this semester!

3. On a personal note, I am a 44 year old mother of two teenage boys ages 16 and 19, one teenage step-son, age 16. I am also a wife to my college sweetheart. My husband is my best friend. With my husband being a retired combat veteran from the Army, and my oldest son in basic training for the Army as you read this, it is obvious that I am a proud wife and mother of a military family. In my spare time, I love traveling to the mountains with my family to enjoy hiking and connecting with nature while appreciating God's wonderful creations in this world.

4. On a career note, in May, 1993, I graduated from Louisiana State University in Secondary Mathematics Education and Kinesiology. I am currently in my 22nd year of teaching at St. Amant High School in Ascension Parish. I have never regretted one day, well, maybe one…of choosing teaching as my profession. I love my job and I am proud that I have chosen this career. In 2007, I was named teacher of the year at my school and in 2008, I became a National Board Certified Teacher. From 2006-2008, I also served as an instructional coach/teacher coach in Ascension Parish High Schools.
