Welcome to my class! I am looking forward to teaching your children AP Human Geography and/or AP Environmental Science this year!

This is my 20th year teaching and my 20th year at Destrehan High School. I student taught at DHS in Fall 2004 and was offered a job starting in Spring 2005. I began by teaching Juniors Free Enterprise and World Geography (and a random Honors Civics and World History), but after two years, moved to the Freshman Team, where I taught both Civics and World Geography. Starting in Fall 2017, I moved to the Sophomore Team to teach AP Human Geography and World Geography, and I have loved every second of it! Geography is by far my favorite subject! I love to travel and to help my students learn about all the different places in the world. AP Human Geography is a great, fun, and interesting class, just more challenging since it is AP. I also love teaching AP Environmental Science. I pushed for this class to be added to DHS because it intertwines and overlaps with AP Human Geography beautifully. I am so excited to have the opportunity to teach it!

I was the 2016-2017 Teacher of the Year for Destrehan High School! In addition to teaching, I am also a member of the Louisiana Reading Association, the National Council for Social Studies, and the National Council for Geographic Education. I love being involved and attend as many DHS after-school activities as possible! I sponsor the WISE Ecology Club, which is for Wildcats Invested in Saving the Environment. Geaux Wildcats! My husband teaches AP Computer Science Principles and AP Computer Science A here, so, in a shameless plug, I highly suggest taking one of those two classes. APCSP is very accessible (even for Freshmen), while APCSA is comparable to a high-level math class. He also teaches two new classes being offered, Computer Science Essentials and African-American Studies.

Please do not hesitate to contact me whenever you feel necessary. Happy travels!
