Hello Covington-Harper Elementary School Families and Staff.

I am grateful to be an Assistant Principal at Covington-Harper Elementary School. Every day, I am part of the incredible learning, growth, and joy that fills our school. Thank you for your trust, your collaboration, and your commitment to helping our school thrive. I am proud of who we are and excited for all we will continue to accomplish together.

I began my education career as a substitute teacher here in Prince William County, later gaining hands-on experience as both a Special Education Teaching Assistant and a Physical Education Teaching Assistant. These early roles strengthened my passion for creating inclusive and engaging learning environments.

After completing my teaching endorsement, I taught Fourth and Fifth grades and ESOL, for all grade levels, which deepened my understanding of diverse learning needs. Motivated to expand my impact, I returned to school to earn my administrative endorsement which has prepared me to serve and lead at a broader level.

I hold a Master's degree in The Social Foundations of Education from The University of Virginia and a Doctorate in Curriculum and Instruction from The George Washington University. My doctoral research focused on teachers' experiences in departmentalized instructional settings with a focus on specialized instruction and purposeful curriculum design to support teachers in delivering high-quality learning experiences for all students.

Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with my family and, whenever possible,  relaxing at the beach.
