I have had the privilege of being an educator in Forsyth County for the past nineteen years.  I have been a behavior intervention teacher, co-teacher for all grades, special education department chair, and assistant principal. Also, I have earned a bachelor’s in education, a master’s in special education, and a specialist in leadership. This is my fifth year as principal of Cumming Elementary.  I am thrilled with the work we are doing to meet the needs of all students and our efforts to connect with families.  I am here to serve you and your family. Please do not hesitate to reach out if there is anything I can do for you.

I am excited to begin my 22nd year working for Forsyth County Schools.   I graduated from Georgia Southern University with a degree in early childhood education.  I also hold master’s and specialist degrees from North Georgia College and State University and Brenau University. Throughout my career in education, I have been a classroom teacher, special education teacher, early intervention teacher, and Quality Work Facilitator.  For the last six years, I have served in the role of Assistant Principal.  I love being a part of the Cougar Nation Family as I continue my passion for supporting students, parents, and staff!    

I am entering my 23rd year in education and my 17th year as part of the Forsyth County School system. Originally from Annapolis, MD, I settled with my family in Cumming after spending thirteen years in Weddington, NC. I began my teaching career in a transitional Kindergarten classroom before claiming first grade as my instructional home for several years. After moving from NC to GA in 2006, I began teaching at Silver City Elementary. While at SCES, I taught Kindergarten, First Grade and Writing Specials. In my final year at SCES, I took on the role of Literacy Coach. After earning my Ed.S., I accepted a position as Assistant Principal at Piney Grove Middle School and supported students and staff at PGMS for five years. Following my time at PGMS, I returned to my elementary roots as Assistant Principal for Whitlow Elementary. In the summer of 2022, I had the honor and privilege of joining the Cumming Elementary family. I am excited about entering year two as a part of the fantastic culture in Cougar Nation.

Hello! I am so excited to begin my 17th year at Cumming Elementary! I have also served as a classroom teacher, Title One support teacher, and Quality Work Facilitator. I have enjoyed all my roles at CES, including being a parent. I am very proud to have my personal children attend Cumming Elementary as well! I am passionate about supporting the students, teachers, and parents of our school. I look forward to another amazing year in Cougar Nation!
