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.

I have taught every level of Spanish. I cater to all learning styles, primarily in Spanish. My objective each day is that my classes are relevant, engaging and fun as I attempt to empower students for college, career and life. I particularly favor "performance based" assessments to measure student growth. 

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

Over the last fifteen (15) years, I have focused on, not only teaching Spanish, but also on helping the "whole child."  In August 2022, I began helping students as a Student Wholeness Specialist, in addition to teaching Spanish. As Student Wholeness Specialist, I help students manage their time and anxieties as well as other social and emotional skills.
