As a native of Louisiana, I often have to answer the question, “Where are you from?”. After living in Colorado for many years, I still wonder why people ask me that!
Just kidding, I have a distinct accent and revel in the fact that I am a true Southern girl at heart. I think a Cajun word best describes my way of teaching and living… Lagniappe… meaning ”a little something extra”. And what about those Saints--- Super Bowl winners! Who DAT?
I graduated from Louisiana Tech with a BA and MA+48 in Elementary Education. I have logged hours and hours of postgraduate work. I taught 5th grade in Louisiana for seven years. I have been teaching 4th Grade at SES since it opened in 1996! I especially enjoy attending and presenting at science conferences and learning from my students. We are so lucky to teach at such an exciting and progressive school.
I am married to my best friend, Ronny, and we have two children. Our son Casey and his wife Megan live in Nashville, TN. Roscoe, our first grandson, was born in September 2009. Our daughter Karla and her husband Jeremy live in Broomfield. Lilah, our first grandaughter was born exactly 6 weeks later in October. We are so proud of our family and these two wonderful grandchildren. We also have two dogs, Wrigley, a cairn terrier like Toto and Fenway a Westie. They add so much to our lives and keep us entertained! We make several trips to Louisiana each year to visit our families. Ronny and I like to watch the Rockies play, enjoy NFL games, and listening to music. We are still exploring this beautiful state that we now call home.
