Why I Became an Educator
I became a teacher to make a difference in our world. I then decided to further my education to become an assistant principal to support student learning, collaborate with teachers, and to connect with all stakeholders. I enjoy the challenge of inspiring our students to invest in their own education.

Our school promotes student engagement with a rigorous curriculum and a supportive learning environment. Coastal Connections Academy does an amazing job of building connections, empowering learners, and shaping the future. We must ensure students are engaged, well-rounded individuals with every opportunity to excel and succeed. The benefit of online public school is that we work closely with the students, Learning Coaches, and caretakers. As a school, we must also rely on all stakeholders, including parents’ and Learning Coaches’ involvement.
Coastal Connections Academy does an amazing job fostering student engagement in our digital and virtual world. We hold LiveLesson® sessions with our students where they get to interact with their peers. We offer multiple clubs and opportunities for students to collaborate and discover things that interest them. We also host field trips where we can meet up in person to explore various educational experiences.

My Interests
I love to visit the beach and to do anything outdoors with my husband and three boys. You will always find me with a great book to read whenever I have a few free minutes.
