Junior Leage Active member

Junior Leage Active member

Served as an Active member in 4 different Junior League Organizations ( Junior League of the Palm Beaches FL, Junior League of Birmingham AL, Baton Rouge Junior League and the Junior League of Lafayette) over a span of 18 years. I was involved in everything from teaching fire prevention to elementary students to promoting fundraiser cookbook sales/demonstrations, organizing and running community outreach programs for women and children and training and supporting our newest members as a Provisional advisor and mentor.


Currently I am a Sustaining Member in Lafayette.

PTO President, Myrtle Place Elementary

PTO President, Myrtle Place Elementary

Served in this capacity for 3 years, and in that time I spearheaded several school fundraisers, bringing four new seasonally appropriate ones into being that were the cornerstone for funds raised to overhaul the school's playground, purchase school stage essentials (new curtain etc), sound equipment and funds for picnic tables to be purchased for the purpose of instituting new school traditions begun in part due to new parental involvement. There had not been an active PTO in place for many years, and I was instrumental in not only getting one started, but rather put programs in place to help the organization continue to mobilize volunteers/fundraising moving forward to help support the school, its mission and its staff, faculty and ultimately of course all of its students.

Hobbies/Interests

Hobbies/Interests

I enjoy cooking, entertaining, gardening, sewing, creative art projects,, reading, travelling, hiking, running, yoga, snow skiing, water skiing, wakeboarding, tennis, pickleball, learning new skills of any sort, connecting with friends and family.


I am an intermediate Spanish speaker, having attended Centro Maya de Idiomas in Quetzaltenango, Guatemala for a six week immersive stint several years ago to improve my fluency and understanding of the Spanish language and Latin culture expanding upon what I'd studied in both high school and college courses.
