I’m an Alabama native and proud mother of a RISD graduate.  My teaching journey begin at Lake Highlands Jr. High as a Social Studies Teacher / Coach and later, an Assistant Principal.  In 2007, I became the AVID District Director guiding several campuses to become premier AVID Demonstration Sites.  In 2014, I transitioned to Berkner High School as an Assistant Principal with a dream of becoming the principal of the former Christa McAuliffe Learning Center (CMLC). My dream came true in 2015 becoming the Principal of CMLC, now RISD District Alternative Education Program.

My dream continues as I now serve as the Principal of TMSSA.  I truly believe that all students can achieve success given the tools, resources, and skills to grow.  I look forward to working with students, parents, and the RISD community as we navigate this journey together.
