Welcome

I am truly honored and excited to serve as one of the Assistant Principals at Washington Park Elementary. My journey into education was a bit unexpected. After spending several years working in the business world, a friend introduced me to the world of middle school science—and I quickly discovered a passion for teaching and working with students. I began my teaching career in 2008 and spent many rewarding years in the classroom before joining the WPES administrative team in 2026.

I joined Jasper County during the 2020–2021 school year, and it didn't take long for this community to feel like home. I quickly fell in love with the people, the values, and the strong sense of connection that make Jasper County such a special place. I loved it so much that I eventually sold my lake house and purchased a small farm right here in the community!

That decision says a lot about how I feel about Jasper County. I am not simply working here—I am invested here. I am proud to be part of this community and deeply committed to supporting our students, families, and staff. I look forward to building relationships, celebrating successes, and helping make Washington Park Elementary a place where every student can learn, grow, and thrive.

I am so grateful to be a Hurricane, and I can't wait to see what we accomplish together!
