I am married to Jeff Russell and we have one son, Jake.  Jeff is also an educator and teaches PE at Pine Wood Elementary in DeRidder.  Jake attends South Beauregard Elementary.  

I enjoy reading, traveling, shopping, and participating in all things Mardi Gras!  I am actively involved in my Mardi Gras Krewe, Krewe du Sauvage.  I love surrounding myself with family and friends.  My favorite teams are the Houston Astros, New Orleans Saints, LSU Tigers, McNeese Cowboys, AND the SBHS Knights and Lady K’s.  I attend as many of our school events as I possibly can and like to support our students in all they do.  I especially love to watch my nieces and nephews play baseball, basketball, and softball...the added bonus is that they attend SBHS!  We are a family of Knights and Lady K’s!  My son is also involved in South Beau Little Dribblers and South Beau Recreation Baseball.  To say the least, we stay busy!
