Statements
- Experience: What is your current administrative position? How long have you served in that capacity? What was your path to obtain it?
This is my second year serving as the proud principal of Ludington High School—Go Os! Before stepping into this role, I spent eight years as the assistant principal here at LHS. Over a decade ago, attending MASSP’s Aspiring Principals session inspired me to take the leap from the classroom, where I was a French teacher at Chelsea High School, to administration here in Ludington. - Performance: Tell us about any awards, accolades or important points of pride related to your career.
I was honored to previously serve on the MASSP Board of Directors as the AP West representative. Over the past decade, it has been a tremendous privilege to serve the students, staff, and community of Ludington. Few things compare to the recognition that comes from the love and support of an incredible school community like ours. - Education: What post-secondary degrees have you obtained and from where? What additional continuing education have you received? Do you have a particular area of focus/expertise?
I hold a Bachelors in History and French from Michigan State University, where I also earned my teaching certification. I later completed my Masters in Educational Leadership at Eastern Michigan University. - Statement of Intent: Why are you seeking this position on the MASSP Board of Directors?
MASSP, its staff, and our membership have been instrumental in supporting me and many of my colleagues throughout our careers. It would be an incredible honor to serve as your president and give back to this association. If elected, I will dedicate myself to advocating for our members and the students and communities we serve in every way possible. Thank you for considering me for this role, and I wish you all the best in your work to advance education and support students.
