Though I spent much of my time in Texas, my roots are in South Louisiana, where the gumbo is always cooking and the weekends are filled with Tiger (LSU) football. I love life and think that you should never miss an opportunity to do something great. I love being outside especially when it is cold, but I love just sitting and enjoying the company of good friends. However, I will never turn down an adventure. I am passionate about cooking, especially if it is cajun food. I love the idea that we can explore our world through food, learn about different cultures, and experience the joy that comes from being in the kitchen! I have taught high school students for six years and online collegiate courses since 2008. I am excited to be teaching here in Alaska at Palmer High School. It is going to be a great year! 

Something good happens everyday, notice the little things.
