McNEESE STATE UNIVERSITY
The development of an effective teacher involves the process of acquiring skills that will promote life-long learning. As technology advances, we recognize that the teaching profession will inevitably change. Our programs are designed to equip our students with the skills they will need to adapt under pressure in order to continue educating all students in an effective manner.
Students will also be prepared to complete graduate coursework and specialized training to pursue a career as administrators, supervisors and other roles in education.
I am a McNeese graduate with a bachelor's degree in Family and Consumer Science and a concentration in Child and Family Studies. As a student, I competed on the rodeo team and served on the SGA board. I earned my master’s degree in 2022 from the University of South Dakota in Educational Administration and Leadership with a concentration in Adult and Higher Ed. I have over 13 years of experience in adult education and 20 years of educational experience.
My favorite part of being a Freshman Advisor is helping students navigate their new life routine as a college freshman by offering support with in-person office visits or by email to help students meet their goals. I always remind students of my favorite BB King quote – “Education is one thing no one can ever take away from you.” I believe that supporting students is vital to a student's success.
In my spare time, I raise registered American Brahman cattle, and I enjoy all the "country girl" things like hunting, fishing, growing a garden and cooking.
