Bio

I am excited to serve as the Assistant Principal of Prairie Ridge Elementary and to be part of a school community that is committed to student success, strong relationships, and a positive school culture. I believe that every child deserves to feel valued, connected, and inspired to reach their full potential.

My career in education has been shaped by a variety of experiences working with students and families. Before joining Prairie Ridge, I served as a teacher, coach, athletic director, and school administrator. I have spent more than 20 years working with young people through schools, athletics, and youth programs, helping students develop not only academically, but also as leaders, teammates, and responsible citizens. Most recently, I served as Assistant Principal at Mead Elementary, where I worked closely with students, staff, and families to support student achievement and well-being.

Sports and leadership development have always been important passions of mine. Throughout my career, I have coached multiple sports, directed youth sports programs, and worked to create opportunities for students to build confidence, resilience, and teamwork through athletics and other extracurricular experiences.

Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with my family, staying active, watching and participating in sports, and exploring everything Colorado has to offer. I look forward to partnering with Prairie Ridge families and staff to create a safe, supportive, and engaging learning environment where all students can thrive.
