I am both honored and excited to serve as one of the Assistant Principals at Champ Cooper School. This school is truly special to me, as I’ve been part of the Champ Cooper family for 22 years, spending 12 of those years as a classroom teacher. I’m now proud to be in my tenth year as Assistant Principal.

I earned my bachelor’s degree from Louisiana Tech University and obtained my teaching certification through Southeastern Louisiana University, where I also completed my master’s degree in Educational Leadership. I’m happily married to my husband, Johnny, and we are the proud parents of two wonderful children, Jazmyn and Jaylee.

At Champ Cooper, we are committed to academic excellence, student safety, and fostering a positive, supportive school environment. I’m passionate about education and believe every child deserves the opportunity to thrive. It’s an honor to serve our students, staff, and families, and I take great pride in helping ensure student success.

My door is always open! Please feel free to stop by if I can assist you in any way, or just to say hello!!

It is my utmost privilege to serve as an assistant principal at Champ Cooper, the school where I began my teaching career 25 years ago. I am dedicated to fostering an environment where academic excellence, relationship building, and a growth mindset are pillars to a successful and productive school.   This is only possible when students, parents, teachers, and staff all align to the district core values of being respectful, being compassionate, and being great.  Champ Cooper is dedicated to ensuring that every individual that walks through our doors feels valued, supported, and empowered so that they can meet and succeed all the lofty expectations we place upon them. 

I earned a bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education and a master’s degree in Educational Leadership from Southeastern Louisiana University.  While I have taught multiple subjects across various grade levels and schools throughout my career, Math has always remained my favorite subject.  Outside of my professional career, I enjoy spending time with my wife and daughters, playing and watching sports, singing and playing music, and serving the church.

I look forward to meeting you as we work together to support our students’ success.  If you need assistance or help, feel free to contact me.  Let’s have a fantastic school year.  Go Cougars!
