Originally from Elkhart, Indiana, I attended college at Purdue University and Indiana University-South Bend to complete my teaching and leadership certifications in both Indiana and Michigan. I am currently back at Purdue University where I am working on my doctorate in educational leadership.
My teaching career began in inner city Elkhart in 2005 where I taught 2nd grade. In 2012 I began my administration career as an assistant principal in Frankfort, Indiana. In 2014 I began my tenure in Niles as the assistant principal at Ballard before becoming the principal of Oak Manor's last sixth grade class in 2016. In 2017 I was given the honor of leading Ring Lardner Middle School. I feel very blessed to work with the Ring Lardner staff; who put relationships with students and parents first.
Your child is just as important to me as my own. Please contact me with any questions or concerns.
