Welcome everyone to my personal website! For those that do not know me I would like for you to get to know me a little better. This is currently my 17th year of teaching. In my 17 years of teaching I have taught 1st grade for 3 years and the rest I have taught middle school science. In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my family and my pets. I have a German Shepherd and a Miniature Pincher Mix. My husband and I have 7 kids between us and 2 grandsons with a granddaughter on the way! My favorite sports teams are the LSU Tiger Football team and the Duke Blue Devils Basketball team.
On this webpage you will find a wealth of valuable information.
