I am excited about the opportunities that lie ahead for our Citrus High School students, parents, and staff. I am happy to be working with dedicated professionals in an environment based on tradition and a commitment to values, as well as a willingness to embrace change. I began my career in education at Lecanto High School. There I spent 12 years teaching students mathematics, and I loved every minute of it! After that, I worked as a teacher on special assignment in the area of Tech Prep and School To Work. My most rewarding venture followed when I became the Assistant Principal at the Renaissance Center. During those five years, I gained valuable experience in the areas of curriculum, guidance, and behavioral interventions. I enjoyed developing relationships with my staff, students and their families to ensure and maximize student success. After the Renaissance Center, I became an Assistant Principal at Lecanto Middle School. As a graduate of Crystal River High School, I would have never guessed that I would be turning in my blue and gold for black and gold! I am honored to serve as your Assistant Principal and I am looking forward to working with students, parents, community members and the wonderfully qualified staff at CHS to ensure that student success is top priority. I welcome your input and invite you to contact me with any questions, comments or concerns.

When I graduated from Citrus High School, I never imagined I would return to serve as a member of the faculty. Since 1998, I have served in many different capacities here at CHS. While in college working on my undergraduate degree, I served as a CHS substitute and volunteer. Later, I completed my internship, as well as my first year of teaching here at CHS. In 1999, I left Citrus High School for three short years to teach in Texas and then on the East Coast of Florida at Flagler Palm Coast High School. Each of those schools provided me with a wider range of experiences and vision of what it truly means to be an educator. In 2002, I had an opportunity to return to Citrus High and serve as a teacher. Since then, over the past nine years, I have served in a variety of capacities including working as the English Department Chair, Writing Team Leader, and Assessment Specialist. Now I have been provided the wonderful opportunity and challenge to serve as your Assistant Principal. Citrus High School is a truly unique school. Our administrative team, faculty, and staff are comprised of an extraordinary group of educators committed to making learning and success happen for students. I invite you to stop by to see me.
