McNEESE STATE UNIVERSITY
Advancing world health and celebrating nursing excellence in scholarship, leadership and service.
The global organization of choice for nursing.
The Lake Charles Chapter of Sigma Theta Tau International, Kappa Psi was established in 1988. Membership is by invitation to baccalaureate and graduate nursing students who demonstrate excellence in scholarship and to nurse leaders exhibiting exceptional achievements in nursing. Induction is held in the spring of each year to honor these students as well as to recognize outstanding nurses in the community and install newly elected officers.
Kappa Psi partners with other professional nursing organizations throughout the year to provide educational opportunities for nurses and promote research efforts within the community.

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.
