Work Experience

Livingston Parish Public Schools Technology Facilitator

STEAM Express Director and Social Media Manager

                           Livingston Parish School Board                             Livingston, LA                June 2016- May 2021

I am currently the facilitator of educational technology. I also run the district Facebook and Twitter accounts as well as help schools set up and trouble-shoot their own accounts.  I train teachers on using a variety of technology topics: Microsoft, surface pros, communications, PII, Cell Phone apps, etc.  I also manage and maintain the district website and research possible programs and software for district use.  My main objective is to incorporate technology in a way that benefits teachers and students without adding to their plates.  The LPPS STEAM Express is also a project that I am very proud of:  a school bus that has been retrofitted into a Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math (STEAM) mobile classroom that ventures into neighborhoods and community events to spark and interest in STEAM activities and learning.

I primarily taught 7th and 11th grade ELA, but have had experience teaching every English and/or Reading class from 7th to 12th grade with consistently high passing rates with the EOC.  I was also responsible for many other important events during the school year such as graduation, homecoming, and prom; was junior and senior class sponsor as well as head varsity cheerleading coach (see below).

I was the sponsor and coach of the DHS Varsity Cheerleading Squad and attended every practice (3-5 days a week).  We attended Universal Cheerleading Association summer camp every summer to help the girls become better leaders at Doyle High School.  We also qualified for and attended the 2016 National High School Cheerleading Championship, a lifelong goal for me. We also participated in several community projects such as The Great Character Chase, and made Christmas and Valentine’s Day cards for the Golden Age Nursing Home.
