I have been working and residing in Baltimore since 1999 and continue to be amazed at what the city of Baltimore has to offer. I began my educational career teaching at Patterson High School as a 9th grade history teacher in the basement for five years. In 2004 I was promoted to assistant principal at Patterson and from 2005 to 2009 I was the assistant principal at Francis Scott Key Elementary/Middle School for grades Pre-K through 5 and grade 8. I am quite familiar with many of the staff members at Independence School and am excited to be working with them again. I am passionate about two things; the education of Baltimore’s youth and the Washington Redskins.

I earned my bachelor’s degree (B.A.) in history with a minor in education from St. Bonaventure University in Olean, NY and my master’s degree (M.Ed.) in School Improvement Leadership from Goucher College in Maryland. I have been awarded my Advanced Professional Certificate (APC) from the State of Maryland with an endorsement in Social Studies 7-12 and my Administrator I and II. I am currently looking into doctoral programs in the area.
