This year marks my sixth year at the Lycée and my eighteenth year in education in New Orleans. As a parent of two Lycée students (one in kindergarten and the other in 4th grade), I'm also on the board of La Liaison, our parent-teacher organization. 

When I'm not working, I take every opportunity to explore the great outdoors, whether hunting, fishing or camping. If I'm not wandering the bayous, swamps and marshes of our beautiful state, you'll find me dancing a two-step or a waltz at one of south Louisiana's many wonderful festivals. Trant earned a BA in History and Minor in Medieval Studies from Loyola University New Orleans with a Masters in Education from Relay Graduate School of Education.

abroad and an interim year as CEO of the French school (elementary and secondary) of Yaoundé in Cameroon in 2017-18. After a scientific high school degree in Saint-louis of Senegal, she moved to Strasbourg in the east of France to study chemistry, physics and sociology.

After having taught physical sciences in middle and high school in the academy of Strasbourg, she took the competitive examination for the position of Principal Education Counselor and occupied these functions before joining the corps of management personnel, after a French national competition. She has an unalterable passion for education because as Nelson Mandela said: "education is the great engine of personal development. It is through education that the daughter of a peasant can become a doctor, that a son of a mineworker can become the head of mine, that a child of farm workers can become the president of a great nation. It is what we make out of what we have, not what we are given, that separates one person from another."
