I am excited about starting a new school year at the Harlandale Alternative Center.  I graduated from McCollum High School and have been in education for over 16 years. I am a former third and fifth grade teacher.  I have also assumed the role of High School Counselor.  I love my job as Assistant Principal.  As an assistant principal, I primarily work with student discipline. I believe that students should be given an opportunity to learn from their mistakes.  I often tell students who visit my office that mistakes do not define who they are.  We learn from them and move on.  I treat our students the way I would want my children to be treated.  They deserve respect, acceptance and the best education possible.  Please feel free to call me if you have any questions or concerns.
