I am very excited for the opportunity to work with the Senator Joyce Fairbairn learning community. Fairbairn’s pursuit of excellence and their commitment to all kids are just a few strengths that I will endeavor to continue leading and supporting. As Fairbairn is a newer school, I look forward to working with the dynamic staff to continue to foster engaging and innovative learning opportunities for students. This includes continuing the outstanding work accomplished in the areas of literacy, numeracy, and technology integration.

I am a strong believer in the power of pride, connection, energy, and enthusiasm and believe that students need to be excited about going to school every day.

Previously the principal of Fleetwood-Bawden Elementary School for five years, other previous administrative experience includes vice-principal positions at Dr. Probe Elementary School and G. S. Lakie Middle School.
