I am a dedicated educational leader, proud principal, and lifelong learner who brings both heart and expertise to everything I do. As the principal of Harrison Elementary in South Bend, I am deeply committed to improving student outcomes through data-driven instruction, strong school culture, and meaningful support for teachers and families. My career reflects decades of experience in education—from classroom teacher to literacy specialist to school leader—grounded in a passion for helping every child succeed.

Beyond my professional life, I am a family-centered person who values time with my loved ones and the joy they bring. My home is also filled with the energy and companionship of my dogs, who are an important part of my daily life and happiness.

I combine strong leadership, deep knowledge of literacy and instruction, and a genuine care for people. My passion for education is not just what I do—it’s who I am, driving me to continuously grow, lead with purpose, and make a lasting impact on students, staff, and my community.
