I grew up in New Orleans and have roots in south Louisiana that go back generations.

As a kid, my love for the environment was fostered by at-home education, and my time at summer camp in the Smoky Mountains of north Georgia.

These experiences shaped me into someone with a deep passion for wildlife all over the world and the ecosystems they call home.

Now, as an educator, I aim to transfer this passion to the next generation.

I have been working with kids for almost a decade, being a classroom teacher for about half of that time.

Outside of the classroom, I work as a varsity coach, and run the Young Ecologists NOLA program.

I have a dog and two cats at home, as well as a younger sister who lives in London.
