I have been in education for twenty-nine years, nineteen of which have been in the Mathews library.  I love being a Mav!  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 showing them my favorite books!

When I am not in the library, I love to spend time with my family and friends...dining out, shopping, and traveling are some of my favorite things!  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 sophomore at Louisiana Tech University in Ruston, Louisiana.  He will be a third generation graduate from there!  Both his maternal grandparents, myself, and my husband...and now Trace have walked the bricks around Louisiana Tech University.  Trace is an avid sports enthusiast and loves liviing his best life as a Phi Kap!  We also have one fur baby that is a Corgi Terrier mix (CorJack).  His name is Ranger! 

GO MAVS and GO BULLDOGS!!!
