I am so excited to serve as the principal of Kelly Mill. 

This is my 26^th year in education.  I hold degrees in Early Childhood, a Master’s Degree in Reading, a Master’s Degree in Leadership, and an Education Specialist Degree in Curriculum and Instruction.  I am originally from south Georgia (Valdosta) and moved to Cumming in 2000 when I began teaching at Cumming Elementary.  I served as an Assistant Principal at Chattahoochee and Mashburn before becoming Principal at Mashburn in 2009.  I was fortunate to then lead Brookwood Elementary from 2017 – 2022 before coming to Kelly Mill.

My husband and I have 2 amazing children, Jordan (17) and Josie (13), 2 dogs, 2 cats, and many fish and small critters the girls bring into the house.  Our weekends are filled with lacrosse games and family time while we cherish our daughters senior year.

I strive to make every day AWESMAZING for your children.  I live out our mission, “Be the Light- Be the Good!”. 

I am so excited to be your 4^th and 5^th grade Assistant Principal over this year.  This is my second year as a KME Colt.  Prior to KME, I spent 16 years in Fulton County where I held a variety of roles including teacher, Graduation Coach, Assistant Principal and Program Specialist for the Office of Student Discipline.  I am honored to be serving the community that served my children so well. 

I have a B.A from Ohio Wesleyan University, an M.Ed from Mercer University and an Ed.S from the University of North Georgia.  

My husband Ryan and I have two wonderful children who both attended Kelly Mill. Brady is now a junior at West Forsyth High School and my daughter, Rowan is an eighth grader at Hendricks Middle School. Outside of work, we spend a lot of time at volleyball games and WFHS Marching Band events.

I look forward to fantastic year as a Kelly Mill!

As a Forsyth County native and FCSS graduate, it is an honor to watch our school and system continue to excel! 

I earned my Bachelor's Degree in Early Childhood Education, Master's Degree in Technology in Education, Specialist Degree in Curriculum and Instruction, and an endorsement Leadership Add-On.

My husband, Chuck, and I are blessed with two wonderful children, our son Charlie and our daughter, Molly.

I look forward to another fantastic year with the KME Family! If there is anything I can do to support you, please don't hesitate to reach out via phone or email anytime. It's a Great Day to be a Colt!
