Administration Team

Welcome to Sandlapper Elementary School! As principal, I am thrilled to bring my passion for education and my unwavering commitment to student success to this incredible school community. At Sandlapper, we have high expectations for joyful learning, creative thinking, positive leadership, and limitless possibilities—and I am honored to lead a team that lives out this mission each day.

Throughout my career as an educator and administrator, I’ve been dedicated to improving academic outcomes and building a school culture where every child feels seen, valued, and inspired to achieve. I truly believe every student has the potential to thrive, and it’s our responsibility to nurture that potential with care, consistency, and high expectations.

I’m excited to partner with our students, families, and staff as we work together to create a joyful and empowering learning environment. The future is bright at Sandlapper—and the best is yet to come!

I am thrilled to serve as the Assistant Principal for our preschool through second grade students. I am starting my second year at Sandlapper Elementary and looking forward to what this school year holds. My passion for education, student success, and academic achievement fuels my excitement about leading such a dedicated school community.
I bring with me many years of experience in education, having served as a mentor teacher, instructional coach, model teacher, lead teacher, and Teacher of the Year. I hold a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education, two Master's Degrees—one in Elementary Language and Literacy and another in Educational Administration—and I am currently completing a Doctorate in Organizational Leadership.

I believe wholeheartedly in the power of professional learning communities that foster collaboration, communication, and a collective approach to student achievement. I look forward to partnering with parents, teachers, and community members as we work together to create an exceptional experience for every child—setting the standard for joyful learning, creative thinking, positive leadership, and limitless opportunities. At Sandlapper, we REACH FOR THE STARS!

I’m incredibly excited to introduce myself as the new Assistant Principal at Sandlapper Elementary. After spending the past several years at Dent Middle School as the 6th grade Assistant Principal and serving in education for the past 20 years, I’m honored to join such a vibrant and caring school community.

I began my journey in education with a degree in Elementary Education, followed by teaching 6th and 7th grade Social Studies. During that time, I earned my Master’s in Educational Leadership degree from Oklahoma State University. I have served as a teacher or principal at all levels. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with amazing students, educators, and families, and I’ve always believed in the power of relationships to make a lasting impact on student success.

My goal at Sandlapper is to support our students, staff, and families in every way I can. I’m passionate about creating an environment where every child feels seen, supported, and inspired to reach their full potential.

I look forward to getting to know each of you and working together to make this school year a great one. Thank you for the warm welcome — I’m proud to be a Sandlapper Star!
