Assistant Principal

Hello Wildcats! 

I am honored to serve as K-3 Assistant Principal at South McKeel Academy. This is my 13th year in education and my 10th year at South McKeel. Throughout my career, I have served in a variety of instructional and leadership roles, including being a 5th and 6th grade classroom teacher, math interventionist supporting both students and teachers, and testing coordinator. These experiences have shaped my instructional leadership and strengthened my commitment to student achievement and school-wide excellence.

I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education from Florida Southern College and my Master’s degree in Elementary Education from Southeastern University. 

As a proud member of the House of Lideris and a watchman for all, I am committed to leading with purpose by fostering a positive school culture built on collaboration, high expectations, and strong relationships. I look forward to partnering with our school community to ensure a successful and rewarding school year for all students.
