Crater High School Leadership

Now in my 19th year in education, I am honored to be serving in my second year as Crater High School’s assistant principal. Over the years, I have taught middle school English and social studies, high school humanities, served as Crater Renaissance Academy's principal, and worked as a Student Wellness Specialist. No matter the role, my focus has always been on connection--building strong relationships with students, staff, and families. I believe in the power of challenge--encouraging students to step beyond their comfort zones, because that is where growth and possibility live. And I strive to be a champion for every student--reminding Comets to “Be All In!” during their four years at CHS so they can open doors to endless opportunities. Away from school, I am a lifelong Boston Red Sox fan who loves sports, the outdoors, reading, time on the water, and most of all, time with my family and friends.
