I am originally from New Orleans, Louisiana. My family and I relocated to North Carolina following Hurricane Katrina. I received my undergraduate and graduate degrees from Louisiana State University (U.N.O. & LSU-S). 

Although the majority of  my professional career was spent in the legal field as a Paralegal, I found my true passion in 2007, when I decided to "give back to society" by becoming a high school Spanish teacher in 2007.

I have taught every level of Spanish. I teach to all learning styles, primarily in Spanish. My objective each day is that my classes are relevant, engaging and fun. I particularly favor "performance based" assessments to measure student growth. 

Since I began teaching, I have received many honors and awards, but my greatest, as a teacher, was in 2019, when the senior class of Cox MIll High School dedicated its "2019 Year Book" to me as the "Most Inspirational" teacher of that year.

Additional accomplishments:   Published Author of the book “Random Wisdom for the Fatherless Child” and I am an American Bar Association Certified Paralegal.
