This will be my first year to teach at Little Cypress Intermediate, but this will be my 4^th year with LCM school district. I will be teaching 5^th Grade ELAR/Social Studies.

I started teaching in 1999 at Orangefield Elementary. I took a break for 7 years to raise my three boys, and then returned to teaching. I taught 1^st grade at WOS Elementary and Little Cypress Elementary. I have taught for 14 years all together, and I am really looking forward to this new assignment.

I am married to my best friend, Jeff Braus. We have been married for 18 years. We have 3 boys. My oldest son is 21 and graduated from LCM. My middle son is 16 and is a junior at LCM. My youngest son is 13 and is in 8^th grade at LCJH. We also have two fur babies that we love dearly.

Outside of teaching, I love to travel with my family and explore new places. I also love to go hunting and be outdoors in nature.
