January 2026

I am overjoyed to have the opportunity to work with the amazing students, parents, faculty and staff at The Varnett Southwest campus, while continuing my role at Varnett Northeast! We have great systems in place to make this a dynamic partnership!

Over the past decade, I have served as a school administrator across grades K-8 and honed my instructional leadership skills in both rural and urban elementary/middle schools. I’ve held many roles over a span of 23 years. I’ve been a classroom teacher, math coach, team lead, Assistant Principal, Interim Principal, and Principal. I received my Bachelors in elementary education at Shaw University in Raleigh, North Carolina and my Masters degree in Administration and Supervision from American College of Education, and I am currently pursuing my Doctoral degree in Educational Leadership from Abilene Christian College.

Last, and absolutely not least, I want to share about my educational philosophy that I look to bring to the Southwest campus and I have to the Northeast campus. As a school administrator and educator, I believe strongly that positive development and academic outcomes occur in strong, spirited, school-wide communities. This requires the enforcement of a bully-free environment, student-focused instruction, and effective communication with all stakeholders. Moreover, an overarching goal of all my work in education has been supporting both the academic and social-emotional development of my students, families, and staff.

I hope that my strong values around helping the “whole child” will shine through in all that I do as the Director of Varnett Southwest. We are committed to bringing the district-wide initiatives to life in this collaboration between the two campuses. I look forward to working with each and every one of you!
