I am eager to collaborate with all stakeholders—students, parents, teachers, staff, and community members—to continue fostering an environment where every student can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.
My background in education spans over 21 years with 16 serving in school leadership positions, during which I have had the privilege of serving in various roles that have shaped my approach to leadership and learning. I am deeply committed to educational excellence and honoring our community’s traditions. These values will guide my work as we strive to provide the best possible educational experiences for all our students.
I believe in the power of collaboration and open communication. As we move forward, I am eager to listen to your perspectives, ideas, and aspirations for our schools.
