Biographical Sketch

As a graduate of ULM’s Occupational Therapy Assistant Program, I have the utmost respect for occupational therapy and our university. I earned my Master of Arts in teaching from Louisiana Tech University and then accepted an assistant professor position in the ULM OTA program in January 2014. In January 2016, I accepted the position as Program Director for the OTA program.  I am dedicated to continuing the tradition of excellence upheld by the university and am passionate about moving the Occupational Therapy Assistant program into the future.  

Currently, I am enrolled in ULM's Master of Occupational Therapy Program and will graduate in December 2017. As you can see, I am dedicated to education and hope that this translates to my students as I mentor and encourage them.
