* A significant structure is a building that is inhabited daily by personnel, is served by utilities, or of such great size (e.g.: Cowboy Stadium) that it requires significant maintenance and upkeep. Service buildings that are dependencies of another building are counted under that building they serve.
** Currently, net and assignable square footages are not exact figures. Even with the H&HP Education Center now complete, the “as-built” drawings are not yet ready to use. These plans which are drawn at the conclusion of major new construction are used to calculate precisely the interior areas and assign their utilization. The drawings will be ready in time for the next utilization report in Fall 2019. Until then, these figures are going to vary slightly from real. Also related to the new construction, existing spaces in other buildings that were vacated by the programs that moved over to the new facility are being readapted and reassigned as time goes on. Some of these existing spaces currently remain temporarily vacated. In other buildings where renovation efforts are multi-year endeavors, the same applies. These vacated spaces make the assignable space percentages vary from year to year.
I am a McNeese graduate with a bachelor's degree in Family and Consumer Science and a concentration in Child and Family Studies. As a student, I competed on the rodeo team and served on the SGA board. I earned my master’s degree in 2022 from the University of South Dakota in Educational Administration and Leadership with a concentration in Adult and Higher Ed. I have over 13 years of experience in adult education and 20 years of educational experience.
My favorite part of being a Freshman Advisor is helping students navigate their new life routine as a college freshman by offering support with in-person office visits or by email to help students meet their goals. I always remind students of my favorite BB King quote – “Education is one thing no one can ever take away from you.” I believe that supporting students is vital to a student's success.
In my spare time, I raise registered American Brahman cattle, and I enjoy all the "country girl" things like hunting, fishing, growing a garden and cooking.
