Bio:

As the Assistant Principal at Beauregard Elementary School, I proudly serve as the liaison connecting our school community with military families, ensuring their children receive the best possible educational experience. Having connections in both the military and educational worlds, I understand the unique challenges and transitions military families face, such as frequent relocations, extended absences, and the emotional impact of military life on students. I have family members who have served and continue to serve, as well as friends who have served and are still serving--and this is why I am passionate about ensuring that our military families are supported in any way possible.

I bring a compassionate, empathetic approach to my role, focusing on fostering an inclusive and supportive environment that addresses the specific needs of military-connected students. Whether it's coordinating school resources for smooth transitions, offering emotional support for students coping with a parent's deployment, or helping parents navigate the school's policies and programs, I am dedicated to ensuring that military families feel seen, supported, and connected to our school community.

In my role, I continuously advocate for military families, ensuring their voices are heard, and that their children have access to all the tools they need to succeed. I am honored to serve as a dedicated advocate for our military-connected students and families, helping them build strong, positive connections with the school while navigating the challenges that come with military life.

Please feel free to connect with me with any questions or interests regarding our military resources.
