As a youngster growing up in south Louisiana, I always knew I’d grow up to be a teacher.  My father was a teacher and my mother worked in the Counseling Office at my school.  I went off to college at Louisiana State University to earn a Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education and a Master’s Degree in Curriculum and Instruction.  Just after graduation, I started my teaching career here in RISD 22 years ago at Apollo Junior High.  While teaching at Apollo, I earned a second Master’s Degree in Educational Administration.  Before landing at Dartmouth as Principal, I spent my time as a Literacy Coach, an Instructional Coach, and an Assistant Principal.

When I’m not at school, I love spending time with my family.  My husband, 2 sons, and I spend lots of time at the baseball field.  We also enjoy watching LSU Football, LSU Baseball, and the New Orleans Saints!  Lately, we have really enjoyed playing pickleball together as a family.

I absolutely love serving the students, staff, and families of Dartmouth Elementary.  I’m so very excited for what the 2025-26 school year will bring!  Our theme this year is all things superheroes!  Growing is our Superpower!
