I don't teach third grade because all the kids are taller than me!

About Me

I'm a preschool teacher in Memphis, but I'm originally from Louisiana (I have a huge Cajun family back home!) I live in a townhouse in midtown with two roommates, and our neighbors are from all over the world. I enjoy organizing our neighborhood parties and events. I volunteer at LeBonheur Children's Medical Center (I love babies!) and am really involved with my church (The Stirring at Hope Pres.) This layout is from WhateverLife.com; get yours today!

My Interests

In my spare time I like to hang out with friends, watch movies, read, babysit, scrapbook, cook Cajun food, organize neighborhood parties, and take pictures.
