About Me
At St. Louise Parish School, we are blessed to be part of a community where faith, learning, character, and relationships come together to help children grow into the people God created them to become. I am honored and grateful to serve as principal and to be part of a school community so deeply committed to nurturing the whole child.
I joined the St. Louise Parish School community in 2026 and quickly came to appreciate the warmth, faith, and deep commitment to students and families. I bring more than 16 years of classroom, leadership, and administrative experience. My journey in education began as an elementary teacher, teaching grades 1–6 in both Catholic and public school settings, before serving as an Accelerated Programs teacher, facilitator, and curriculum developer. My classroom experiences continue to shape the way I lead and remind me of the importance of knowing, supporting, and celebrating each child.
Throughout my leadership career, I have had the privilege of supporting students, educators, and families through instructional leadership, professional learning, student support, special education, school safety, attendance, and family engagement. I believe the strongest schools are built through authentic relationships and meaningful partnerships among students, families, educators, parish, and community. At the heart of my work is a faith-filled commitment to creating a school environment where every student feels known, loved, and valued, while being encouraged to discover their God-given gifts and grow into the person God is calling them to be.
I earned my Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education and Master of Education in Elementary Education from Northern Arizona University, along with my Principal Certification in Educational Leadership, Pre-K–12. I also hold Washington State certifications in elementary education and educational leadership.
What I love most about being an educator is walking alongside children as they discover who they are and the person God is calling them to become. I am passionate about creating a school where students feel known, supported, and encouraged to use their gifts in service to others. Each day, I look forward to building meaningful relationships with our students and families and partnering with our faculty, staff, and parish to help every child grow in faith, knowledge, character, and love.
