This is my 17th year in education and 9th as an administrator. I am excited to join the Poole’s Mill community as principal this year. I was previously at Cumming Elementary and Chestatee Elementary. Prior to being an administrator, I taught at both Brookwood Elementary and Silver City Elementary. I am a proud Auburn graduate where I earned my degree in Early Childhood Education. I also hold a Master’s degree in Early Childhood Education and a Specialist degree in Educational Leadership. I am passionate about working together to foster a strong community that is positively impacting the lives of those around them. In my free time, you will find me spending time outside with my husband and two sons. I look forward to working with you.
