Welcome! I bring over 15 years of dedicated experience in education, serving in roles ranging from general education and special education teacher to administrator. Beyond my professional life, I cherish my roles as a Wife, Daughter, Sister, and Friend. Originally from the picturesque Napa Valley, California, I've also called Idaho and Arizona home before finding my place in West Virginia.

​

My academic journey includes earning a dual bachelor's degree in elementary and special education, followed by a master's degree in Curriculum and Instruction. Additionally, I have completed my Doctorate in Educational Leadership, a milestone that reflects my commitment to advancing educational practices and leadership principles.

​

My passion for leadership blossomed when I embraced a pivotal Director role within my organization. Though initially challenging, this experience catalyzed profound personal and professional growth. Within a year, I spearheaded a transformative shift in department culture, fostering an environment rooted in happiness, trust, and mutual respect.

​

Join me as I continue to advocate for excellence in education and empower others through empathetic leadership and transformative educational practices.
