I am thrilled to introduce myself as your new Elementary Principal and CSE Director.  I am incredibly excited to become part of this vibrant and student-centered community, where every child's success and well-being are at the heart of what we do. 

I am a native of the North Country, and I deeply value the close-knit, community-driven environment that our region is known for.  My husband, Carlos, is a retired Army veteran, and we are proud parents of four wonderful children: Isabell, Liam, Sophia, and Vincent. 

I come to you with over a decade of teaching experience at Carthage, where I've had the pleasure of nurturing young minds and fostering a love for learning.  I hold an undergraduate degree in Applied Linguistics, a master's degree in Elementary/Early Childhood Education, and a CAS in Special Education and Educational Leadership, all from SUNY Potsdam.  These experiences have shaped my educational philosophy and commitment to inclusive, student-centered learning. 

Outside of my professional life, I enjoy spending time outdoors, riding horses, and cherishing moments with my family.  As an avid sports fan, I'm always cheering on my favorite football teach--GO DOLPHINS!

I am looking forward to getting to know each of you, working together, and ensuring that our school continues to be a place where every student feels valued, supported, and inspired to achieve their best. 

Thank you for welcoming me into your community.  Here's to a fantastic school year ahead!
