Ms. Sullivan is a long-time educator and administrator in Bossier Parish.  Her 40+ year career in education has taken her to several different schools around the parish.  Prior to teaching, Ms. Sullivan served in the United States Army, and she is proud to be a veteran.  Ms. Sullivan is a native of Minden in Webster parish.  After high school, she attended Louisiana Tech University and attained a Master's degree, plus 30.  Ms. Sullivan is a proud mom to her son, Cory, and daughter-in-law, Dr. Latashia Upton-Walker.  She's an even prouder grandmother to three young men and a set of twins. 

Ms. Sullivan's philosophy of education is simple:  "I have a passion for education and I believe that all children can learn when taught using their learning styles. There is a drive within me to get parents involved in a productive relationship with their child's teacher.  Involving stakeholders is important to me because they are also a part of the educational system."
