I have been teaching for 9 ½ years , and I love what I do!  I began teaching at Ouachita Parish High School in August of 2019, so this is my first full year as an English II and Creative Writing teacher in the Ouachita Parish School District.  However, I did have the pleasure of completing one month of student teaching here, while I was at ULM, approximately ten years ago under another awesome English II teacher!  

Prior to teaching here at OPHS, I was a teacher in Farmerville, Louisiana.  I taught at Farmerville High School which is now Union Parish High School; and I learned so much!  I began as a World Geography teacher and went on to teach English Remediation, English I, and English II.  I also was an afterschool English tutor, Assistant Coach of the UPHS Varsity Cheer Squad, and head of the UPHS Key Club.  

I love to read, play games, and watch tv.  One of my favorite authors is Maya Angelou and I love poetry and African~American literature.  Some of my favorite books are The Collected Poems of Maya Angelou, Cane River, and The Joy Luck Club. My favorite games to play are PubG and Call of Duty, Covet Fashion, and Words With Friends or Ruzzle.  Lastly, I love reality tv, talk shows, romantic comedies, and stand up comedy; some of my favorites include The Real, This is Us, Little House on the Prairie, and Black~ish.
