Q&A with Laurie

What do you love about teaching or your role at the school?
The fast pace, getting to know the students, and seeing a dirty spot to clean.
I was an emergency veterinary tech for almost 20 years. I grew up in the Texas Hill Country, lived in Oregon for 7 years, Louisiana for another 7 years, settled in Sapello, and I plan on living out my remaining years here. My partner is my better half in every way, and I’m blessed to have been with him for 15 years and will be getting officially married and trading vows with him in Japan this year at the same area where his grandmother is from. My dying wish would be to have a Tibetan Sky Burial, and buzzards are my favorite animal.
