Michele Guidry
Instructor of Accounting
Michele Guidry began teaching accounting courses in 1989, leaving behind the day-to-day tasks of preparing tax returns and generating financial statements. However, in 2003, Guidry decided to put into practice again what she had been teaching for 14 years.
Guidry completed a professional internship with Charles Theriot, CPA, where she served small business accounting clients. “This opportunity allowed me to sharpen my skills, update my knowledge of some of the main areas in accounting and see once again the workings of a CPA firm,” Guidry says.
Prior to becoming an instructor of accounting, Guidry, a Certified Public Accountant, worked at Nicholls State University as the payroll and grants coordinator in the Controller’s Office. Being a part of university life and interacting with students are what Guidry enjoys most about being an instructor.
“The accounting program has a good relationship with its majors by providing networking opportunities through involvement in professional and student organizations and has a strong employment rate of graduates,” Guidry says. “I want students to understand the quality of the program we have here and enjoy the whole university experience.”
In her spare time, Guidry enjoys spending time with her husband and family, traveling and attending sporting events. She also tries to find time to read novels, work out regularly and enjoy a good lunch with friends.
