Always think positive, never stop learning and do what you love. Education = my passion. Assistant Principal of Lester Elementary = my role.

“Flexible” reflects my commitment to adapting with grace, meeting changing needs, and guiding teachers and families to do the same—so together we can support one another and our students in continual growth and achievement.
