It is an honor and a privilege to be part of the Newton Middle School community. I love to support our students, staff, and families. This will be my 28th year in education. I spent 20 years teaching English at the high school I attended in Illinois. In my time there, I earned my National Board Certification in Language Arts as well as a second Master’s Degree in Leadership. Stepping out of my comfort zone and embracing adventure, I moved to Colorado with my two boys, and this is where my transition from teaching to administration began. I started off as an Instructional Coach and then switched to Assistant Principal, and since I absolutely believe in the magic of a classroom, I love supporting teachers and students in their learning.

Outside of Newton, both of my boys play competitive baseball, so most of my “spare time” is spent hauling my cooler, chair and canopy all over Colorado. In this crazy, fast-paced lifestyle, I have made many great friendships and memories, which keeps me going back for more.

Whether it’s school pride or baseball pride, I love the team spirit. As a parent and a leader I absolutely love Newton and love being a KNIGHT. In the words of King Arthur and his Knights: “Do not underestimate the power of unity, for together we can achieve greatness.” I believe we are better together, and I look forward to working in partnership with you.
