**ATTENTION CRES**

I graduated from the University of Louisiana at Monroe with a B. S. in Elementary Education. I received my M. Ed. in Administration from Louisiana State University-Shreveport, and completed my District Level Leadership Certification at Southern Arkansas University. I have been in the field of education for 24 years and have served students in many different capacities beginning as a Pre-K paraprofessional, classroom teacher, Instructional Facilitator, Dean of Academics, Literacy Coach, and my current role as Principal. Some of my favorite ways to relax outside of school are spending time in God’s word, hunting and fishing with my husband (Kevin), watching our grandchildren play ball, camping on Lake Greeson, and watching a great LSU football game. I am thrilled to join the CRSD team and feel honored to be able to serve the students, families, and community partners of the Wildcat Nation at Umpire. I am looking forward to seeing all of the innovative and exemplary educational opportunities students will experience at Umpire and CRSD this upcoming school year.
