I am honored to serve as principal of Jefferson Elementary school!  I am excited to be surrounded by great students, a fantastic staff, and parents who want the best for their children!

This is my 25th year in education.  During my tenure, I have had some wonderful opportunities and experiences working in multiple districts and at every level (elementary, middle, high, and district office). I truly believe education is the key to changing a child’s life trajectory, and I will strive to make decisions based on what is best for students and staff.

When I am not at Jefferson, I enjoy traveling and spending time with my husband, two children, and other family members. Family is very important to me!

I am so excited to be part of the amazing JES family as Assistant Principal! I was born and raised in the York community and attended schools within the district from Kindergarten through graduation. Because of my incredible experiences here, I feel honored to have the profound opportunity to serve our students, staff, and community. Each day, I look forward to partnering with such a strong and dedicated staff to provide our students with high-quality and individualized learning experiences that will equip them for success and prepare them to make a positive impact in the future.  I am a graduate of both Winthrop University and the University of South Carolina, where I received my Master of Education degree in Educational Leadership. I previously held the role of art teacher at both Hunter Street and Jefferson Elementary schools, and I also served as the Assistant Principal at Hunter Street Elementary prior to returning to Jefferson. I enjoy living in the country quiet of Hickory Grove, and I love spending time with my husband, two children, and our dogs.
