My educational philosophy centers on creating a student-centered environment where every child is given the opportunity to succeed. I believe students learn best when they are actively engaged in a supportive, inclusive atmosphere that encourages critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration. At our school, we achieve this by offering high-quality instruction, tailored learning experiences, and a strong emphasis on academic growth.Through strong teacher support, data-driven instruction, and a culture of respect and accountability, we ensure that every student is prepared to excel and thrive in their future endeavors.

My role as an educational leader is to create a supportive environment that fosters student growth and success by providing academic guidance, behavioral support, parental and community engagement, and professional development for my school. All of these areas of support, along with a little love, create a nurturing and caring environment for my students to thrive in their endeavors.

This is my 11th year in education, with previous experience focused in the classroom. I've taught 3rd grade for three years, 2nd grade for one year, and 4th grade for six years. My primary area has been in ELA, where I particularly enjoy guiding students through the writing process.

As Acting Assistant Principal, my job is to create a supportive environment where all students can grow academically and personally. I work closely with teachers to make sure lessons are effective and to use data to meet students’ specific needs. By promoting a positive school culture and working toward shared goals, I help build a strong foundation for students to succeed in school and in life.
