Professional Bio
I graduated from the University of West Florida with my Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education in 2000. Since then I have widened my knowledge base to align with the my professional goals. I earned a Master's in Reading in 2007 and a Specialist's degree in Educational Leadership in 2015.
I have taught in elementary and middle school settings and served as an instructional coach at all K-12 levels.
These experiences led me to my first true leadership role as a Dean at Niceville High School followed by an Assistant Principalship at Shalimar Elementary School. I have since served as Principal at Edwins Elementary School for the last 5 years. In that time Edwins has grown from a D to a B with improved academic outcomes every year.
