I have been teaching in Livingston Parish for 27 years. I began my career at Walker Elementary where I remained for 14 years. I then moved to Lewis Vincent Elementary where I enjoyed 12 more years of teaching. I have been lucky enough to teach my passion for all of those years, 5th grade ELA! Year 27 will surely hold some eventful changes for me at Gray's Creek Elementary!
I have 3 awesome kids who I love dearly. Reese is 23 and graduated in International Business Management from Southeastern La. University. (My Alma Mater!) Ty, age 20, is a junior at Southeastern and also majoring in Business Management. Both of my boys grew up playing baseball and played at Denham Springs High School. (I miss it so much!) My "baby" girl, Presley, is a senior at Denham Springs High School. She is on the swim team and the track manager. She plans to graduate in 2021 and attend Southeastern as well. (The verdict is still out on her major, but she loves kids!)
I love working in the yard, reading, enjoying my family, having dinner with friends, LSU football, and MANY other sporting events. I'm obsessed with Elvis Presley......all 3 of my kids were named after him in some way! I attend First Baptist Church, and cannot wait for those meetings to return to normal! You cannot convince me that the New York Yankees aren't the best team ever, or that country music isn't king! I love fishing and all things glittery......even though those seem like they wouldn't go together....it's so me!
I adore children and teaching them. They make me laugh everyday, which is why I love my job so much! I cannot wait for future years of children and laughter at Gray's Creek!
