I am privileged and overjoyed to serve as the Principal of Cypress Springs Elementary School! I grew up in Vermont and spent ten years in California before moving to Texas in 2010.  Over the last 15 years as an Educator, I have had the opportunity to teach first, second, and third-grade, reading intervention, as well as serve in the role of Instructional Coach and Assistant Principal. 

As an educator and a campus leader, my ultimate goal is for students to grow to their fullest potential academically, socially, and emotionally in an atmosphere that is engaging and adaptive to their diverse needs. I have an uncompromising view that all students can learn and grow at high levels if given a positive learning atmosphere that welcomes exploration and enhances student confidence. It is an amazing experience to be able to work with students every day and watch them achieve their goals! 

Outside of school, I love spending time with my husband, Chris, and our two children, Emma and Camden. Emma is currently attending Texas State University and following in her father’s footsteps studying Chemistry. Camden is attending the University of Texas at San Antonio studying Statistics. 

I am grateful for the opportunity each year to positively support and change lives.  Let's go, Cypress!!!!

I am thrilled and honored to join Cypress Springs Elementary as your new Assistant Principal! Originally from Southeast Texas, just outside of Beaumont, I bring 13 years of experience in education. My journey as an educator has taken me from teaching middle school mathematics to campus and district leadership roles in Central Texas, including Instructional Coach, Curriculum Specialist, and most recently STEM Coordinator. My approach to leadership is rooted in partnership. In this role, I'm committed to empowering our students, supporting our teachers, and collaborating with families by providing the tools, resources, and open communication needed for all to excel.

Becoming a mother has profoundly shaped my perspective as an educator. It has deepened my understanding of the trust families place in educators, allowing me to bring even greater empathy and care to how I serve our students and families. I’m excited to bring this heart-centered perspective to Cypress Springs and to work alongside the dedicated staff and families of this learning community.

Outside of school, I enjoy time with my husband and our two young boys, ages three and one. We love exploring the outdoors. You can usually find us outdoors, whether on a lake or at a family ranch.

I'm truly thankful for the opportunity to serve Cypress Springs Elementary. I look forward to contributing to the continued success of CSE and working together to help every student thrive!
