I was born and raised near New Orleans, Louisiana. I am forever indebted to my mother who single handedly raised six kids. After graduating from the University of Louisiana, Lafayette, (Geaux Cajuns!) in 1985, I moved to California. This is where I met my husband, and we moved to Truckee in 1987.
I left the corporate world of insurance to attend Sierra Nevada College in Incline to obtain my teaching credential. Since 1999, I've taught 1st, 2nd, 6th, 7th, 8th and most every middle school subject. I'm thrilled to be in Math and Science-outside in the 7th Grade "village"!
Both of my daughters went through the Truckee school system and graduated from Truckee High. They attended College of the Siskiyous Community College, Cal State Maritime, Monterey Peninsula Community College, and the University of Nevada, Reno. They both played numerous sports in high school and played basketball in college.
My husband has coached for a long time and is coaching ACMS's girls' basketball teams. Today, our home is a relatively, quiet, empty-nested place!
