I am beyond elated to be the principal of Newell Elementary School. I am a mother of 2 children, a published author, an entrepreneur, and a lifelong learner. I know and consider myself a model for how hard work pays off. 

I can’t wait to engage with our students, families, and staff members during the new school year. I believe in building relationships from day one. I have a passion for teaching and learning, I am data-driven and will use data to drive instruction and decisions. I believe in educating the whole child beyond their academics. It takes a village, so strong partnerships with parents and the community is paramount. My experiences have been in Title One schools, I am aware of the challenges we often face, but I am confident and committed to working as a team in order to conquer any challenges that may arise. The feeling of family is what led me back to Newell. I feel like I have returned home.
