I graduated from McNeese State University in Lake Charles, LA in 1997. My first teaching job was at Pearl Watson Elementary School. I taught there for fourteen years. I currently teach at LeBleu Settlement Elementary School. I have been at LeBleu ever since I left the Pearl.
I am a member of the teachers union CFT. I have received several grants over the years. My most recent grant received was the DREW GRANT 2019. I have received an AXI grant, Drew Grant, CPSB ITEC model Classroom grant, Branch Out and Grow grant, and TNT.
I have presented numerous presentations over the years. They have ranged from webinars to face to face presentations. I have presented to fellow art teachers during in-services, made in-house presentations at my school, as well as to other classroom teachers in the district. I have made presentations for the CPSB technology department, and have presented on the state level at the LACUE conference. I hold the title of Art Teacher at my school, but I am also the school's tech contact person, which means I assist teachers at school with tech issues. I am a district Blackboard mentor teacher, which means I present webinars for teachers on how to use Blackboard in their classroom. I am also an ITEC model classroom teacher, I integrate technology into my curriculum.
