"Leadership and learning are indispensable to each other" - John F. Kennedy

I am honored to be serving our students, staff, MES families and community in the role of Interim Principal. I joined the Morningside Elementary admin team in 2018 as School Business Manager and most recently served as Assistant Principal. Prior to joining the MES Community of teaching and learning, I served as a district testing and assessment administrator in APS, and a high school teacher, high school and elementary assistant principal. I truly believe in the power of public education where every child has an opportunity to enjoy success, where we have the unique opportunity to set our future leaders on the path of choice filled options and lifelong learning. 

I received my BA in Sociology and Linguistics from Emory University and my M.Ed. in Educational Leadership from the University of Georgia, and a certificate in School Leadership and Management from Harvard University. My passions other than education include baking, tinkering with technology, putting things together without directions, playing pickleball (maybe a little bit competitively), and a general love of laughter. I am happily married and have been a resident of Atlanta for 28 years.  

As Interim Principal, I pledge to continue providing the highest level of inclusive loving support and service to all members of the Morningside Elementary community of learners!
