Susan has been an educator for the past 32 years.  Her family moved to Hammond in July of 1989 and she accepted a position at Holy Ghost.  Prior to that time, she taught in St. John the Baptist Parish.  Over the past nineteen years, Susan has taught fourth, fifth, sixth, and third grades.  She is also a member of Holy Ghost Catholic Church where she serves as a Eucharistic Minister.  While at Holy Ghost School, Susan has received the Wilson Wells Outstanding teacher award in 1991 and was named Teacher of the Year in 1995.  She has been trained in such areas as Boys Town, Thinking Maps, FastForward, Conflict Resolution, Accelerated Reading, and Religious Education.

Susan's philosophy can be summed up in these words --- live well, laugh often, love much!  Her journey in life has strengthened her faith. She puts Jesus first with her family, friends and students next.  Spending time with loved ones on weekends, holidays, and birthdays is an opportunity for her to cook and bake favorite Cajun and Italian family recipes to be shared by those near and dear to her heart.  She relaxes while listening to old time Rock 'n Roll music and dancing to hits from the '50's and '60's.  When time permits, you'll find her curled up with a good book.  She enjoys flower arranging, making craft items, and decorating.  Her goal is to do all that she can  to make a difference now and always.
