I am incredibly excited to welcome our new and returning Sidewinders to the 2023-24 School Year at Twentynine Palms Elementary!

I started serving the Twentynine Palms Elementary community as a 2nd grade teacher in 2014 (my former students are now Juniors!), then as an MTSS Coordinator and Lead Teacher from 2015 - 2021 and finally as Assistant Principal last school year. I have had the privilege of getting to know our staff members and students and see how exponentially they have grown throughout the years. I am very much looking forward to taking on this new role and leading our Sidewinder community to even greater heights!

Our school is a wonderful place for students to learn and grow. All of my teaching and administrative experiences continue to inspire me to be reflective, and to think critically about cultivating the best learning environment for our children. I am eager for the opportunity to motivate, engage and support the students, parents, teachers and community members of TPES.

We recognize the value and importance of family partnerships and together we can inspire curiosity and a love of learning in your child. My door is always open, and your involvement is welcomed. Some ways that families can become involved are through our amazing PTO, our School Site Council and through signing up to be classroom volunteers. Please stop in, call or email me to discuss any concerns, suggestions or ideas to make everyday count!

I look forward to continuing partnering with our Sidewinder Families in the upcoming school year!

See you on campus!
