I am proud to serve as the Principal at Thelma Crenshaw Elementary School. Before my time at Crenshaw I began teaching as a first grade teacher during the 1996/1997 school year in Petersburg City Public Schools. I worked at various Chesterfield elementary schools where my love for school leadership developed. My last 3 years as a teacher, I was the Title 1 Reading teacher at Elizabeth Scott Elementary School.  I also served as Dean for 2 years before becoming the Assistant Principal at Thelma Crenshaw Elementary School in 2016. 

I am a proud graduate of Longwood University where I earned a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education. In 2008, I obtained a Master’s Degree in Elementary Education with a certification in Administration and Supervision from Virginia Commonwealth University. 

My husband and I have two amazing children. Both of whom are proud Chesterfield County Public Schools graduates. I enjoy spending time with my family and 3 dogs on our farm.
