Greetings!

I am honored and excited to serve as the new Assistant Principal at York Elementary School. For the past 13 years, I have been dedicated to inspiring and empowering students, including the last eight years serving Wake County students at Leesville Road Middle School, where I had the privilege of working with many families connected to York. Prior to that, I taught in Miami-Dade County and gained experience across the elementary, middle, and high school levels. I hold a B.A. in English from Florida State University, an M.S. in Educational Psychology from Purdue University, and both an Ed.S. and Ed.D. in Curriculum and Instruction from the University of West Florida, along with a Graduate Certificate in School Leadership from Appalachian State University. I have been married for 13 years and am the proud mother of an 11-year-old daughter and a 9-year-old son, who will be joining York this fall. It is incredibly special for our family to become part of the Bulldog community, and I look forward to building strong relationships, supporting students and staff, and celebrating all that makes York such a wonderful place to learn and grow.

*Official start date is March 9, 2026
