I have been in education for thirty-one years, twenty-two of which have been in the Mathews library.  I love being a Mathews Maverick!  Before becoming a librarian, I taught second grade in Bossier City, Louisiana for three years and then first grade at Rose Haggar Elementary here in Plano for seven years.  

The library is my true calling.  My grandmother was a librarian in the small town of St. Joseph, Louisiana, so this has always been in my blood.  I love having the opportunity to share with students the importance of reading and have the opportunity to show them my favorite books!

When I am not in the library, I love to spend time with my family and friends, gardening, and traveling!  I am also an avid baker of decorated sugar cookies.  My business name is Zoomie Cookie Company!  My husband, Tommy, and I have one son named Trace, who is a senior at Louisiana Tech University in Ruston, Louisiana.  He will be a third generation graduate of Louisiana Tech. Both his maternal grandparents, myself, and my husband...and now Trace, have walked the bricks surrounding Louisiana Tech University.  Trace is an avid sports enthusiast and loves living his best life as a member of Pi Kappa Phi fraternity and participating in intra-mural sports!  We also have one fur baby, Ranger.  

GO Mavs and GO Dawgs!!!
