She has been a passionate educator for over 30 years—all at Campbell Middle School and Campbell School of Innovation—striving to ignite students’ passions for learning and curiosity about the world in which they live.
The challenge of working with younger students as they begin their educational journeys excites her. “This is an opportunity to change the way we educate our future leaders,” she says. “It is a chance to prepare our students to be critical and creative thinkers who will be prepared to compete in a quickly changing environment.”
Her own children attended a K-8 school, so she also understands the benefits of community that develop in this special setting.
