I am honored and excited to serve as your Assistant Principal. I have been in education for thirteen years. I began my career in Fairfax County, Virginia where I taught middle school French. Shortly after, I relocated to Charlotte and taught middle and high school ESL, ELA, and French in Charlotte Mecklenburg Schools, where I was a top 5 district Teacher of the Year, and won the Beacon Shining Lights Irreplaceable Teacher Award.

For the past four years I have served as School Improvement Grant Coach at York Chester Middle School, where I managed a school turnaround grant and coached ELA teachers.

I hold a Bachelors of Arts in French Studies with minor in Marketing from Miami University (Ohio), a Master’s in Curriculum and Instruction from George Mason University, an add-on license from UNC-Charlotte in School Administration, and teaching licenses in ESL, French, and ELA. I am a firm believer that all children can and will learn, given appropriate supports and resources to match their needs.

In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my husband and our baby girl, traveling, running, playing piano, and hanging out with friends and family. I look forward to an outstanding year at Rankin!
