Working with children, on a daily basis, is both a passion and a privilege.  I am thrilled to be a part of such an amazing community!

I am going into my 19^th year at River Oaks Charter School.  I began my career as a Special Education Teacher for two years before transitioning to ROCS as a founding teacher. I taught second and third grade for 14 years and strived to have a learning environment that promotes fun, growth, and a sense of family. During that time I was a lead teacher, math cadre member, peer coach, and led professional development. I then moved into the role of Assistant Principal for 3 years and worked with teachers from TK-5 to focus on planning, data, and instruction.

I am extremely excited to officially be the Principal at River Oaks! I believe every child deserves the right to equitable education and I am deeply committed to supporting our students, teammates, and community.
