Hello All!! I joined Converse Elementary School in 2018, following seven years in a leadership capacity within Judson and 12 years in education total. My career began at Coronado Elementary, where I taught 4^{th and} 5^th grade for seven years. Before joining Copperfield, as the RTI Facilitator, as well as the Academic Dean at Hopkins Elementary. 

I grew up in Milwaukee, WI and attended school in the Milwaukee County School District, graduating from Rufus King High School. I received my undergraduate degree from Lakeland University in Education. I also earned my master’s degree in Counseling with an emphasis on Mental Health in the Community. Wanting to meet the needs of all students I decided to go back to school and I attended Walden University for a Certification in Special Education.

My views on leadership is that of a collaborative school environment as the key to creating successful teachers and students. I believe partnerships with parents and community partners are essential to enriching the experience at Converse Elementary.

During my free time, I enjoy time with my family, friends and crafting.
