This is my 25th  year at Eastside Elementary! I have been teaching first grade for 28 years. Watching children become fluent readers is just one of the things I love about my job! I am very excited to be team teaching with Mrs. Dena Davis this year. I will be teaching English Language Arts (ELA). This consists of English, Spelling/Phonics, Grammar/Writing and Reading. Mrs. Davis will be teaching Math, Social Studies and Science. Together we hope to inspire your children to love learning!

 I am married to a wonderful man and we have 2 daughters. Our family loves LSU football and escape rooms!

I believe that discipline is directly related to respect. I will respect your children and I expect respect from them. I hope that we can keep the doors of communication open this year. You can email me at [email protected]  or call the school (791-8581) to set up conferences. (Before or during school hours will be my preference. However, I can make arrangements if needed.)
