I am so excited to begin my first year as the principal of Shiloh Point Elementary. I am honored and humbled to have the opportunity to serve this community.  

My husband, Ryan and I have two children. Our son, Brady, is a senior at West Forsyth High School and our daughter, Rowan, is a freshman.  We are grateful for the experiences our children have had in Forsyth County Schools, and I am eager to serve alongside principals, teachers and staff that have left their mark on Brady and Rowan. 

I am originally from Ohio but spent my formative years attending international schools overseas. I moved back to the United States to attend Ohio Wesleyan University in 1992.  After moving to Georgia in 2004, I taught 8^th grade science in Fulton County, where I had the honor of being named the 2010-2011 Fulton Country Middle School Teacher of the Year.  In 2013, I was promoted to Graduation Coach. A year later, I was named as the Assistant Principal at Manning Oaks Elementary in Fulton County, where I remained for seven years. In 2022, I transitioned to Forsyth County, where I have served as Assistant Principal of Kelly Mill Elementary for the past two years.  In addition to my Bachelor’s degree, I hold a Master’s degree from Mercer University and a Specialist’s degree from the University of North Georgia. 

My top priority this year is to listen and learn so that we can continue Shiloh’s legacy of ensuring a caring, loving, and supportive environment for all students. 

It has truly been an honor to serve the students, parents, and staff of Shiloh Point Elementary for the past four years.  Prior to becoming an Assistant Principal, I was an elementary teacher, a Literacy Coach, and an Instructional Lead Teacher.  I hold a Bachelor’s Degree from Eastern Connecticut State University, a Masters of Education in Reading from the University of West Georgia, an Educational Specialist in Early Childhood from Georgia State University, a Leadership add-on from Kennesaw State University, and am currently working on my Educational Doctorate in Leadership through Liberty University.  I have lived in Forsyth County with my husband, Dan, and son, Michael, since 2005.

As I begin my twenty-sixth year as an educator, I look forward to another year at Shiloh Point building relationships and supporting the vision and mission of this amazing school.  If I can ever be of assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out to me.

It is a great pleasure to serve the students, staff, parents, and the community of Shiloh Point Elementary as an Assistant Principal. 

As an educator, I have been given the opportunity to serve as an Instructional Coach, Instructional Technology Specialist, teacher of the gifted, and elementary teacher during my 25 years plus in Forsyth County Schools. I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Early Childhood Education from Newberry College, a Master’s Degree in Elementary Education, and a Leadership Add-on from the University of North Georgia, as well as an Educational Specialist Degree in Curriculum and Instruction from Lincoln Memorial University. 

Empowering teachers and students to be all they can be and more, energizes me daily. When not at school, I enjoy listening to audiobooks and traveling with my family. Hiking the Great Wall of China has been the most memorable trip to date. I look forward to our exciting journey together this year.
