I graduated from James Madison University in 2000 with a B.A. in Sociology, Early Childhood Education and Dance. (Go DUKES!) My career in education began over 21 years ago with seven years of experience teaching in first, second and fifth grades in Hanover County and Chesterfield County. During my tenure as a classroom teacher, I earned my M.Ed. in reading education from the University of Virginia and this led me to serve the children of Colonial Heights in five schools as the division K-12 instructional specialist-reading coach for six years. With the dream of returning to one elementary school, I completed my Ed.S. in administration and supervision from the University of Virginia and served as an assistant principal in Hanover County. My journey led me home to Chesterfield County where I’ve had the honor of leading the Wolfpack as principal of Winterpock Elementary for the past four years. Now, I’m excited to build relationships with new families and strengthen relationships with current families as we unite as one school family to build new traditions at Moseley Elementary!
