About Me

I am a Louisiana girl born and raised in Lafayette, Louisiana.  I grew up as a devout Catholic, listening to zydeco music, eating gumbo, and speaking Creole French - a typical southwestern Louisiana upbringing. I completed my undergraduate education at Xavier University of Louisiana in New Orleans and my graduate work at Louisiana State University. Currently, I am a Full and Endowed Professor of History at Xavier University of Louisiana.
