I am honored and excited to begin my work at Dunbar! I have
already been so impressed by the students, faculty, and staff who have made me
feel welcome.
I would like to provide you with some information about my
background. I began my educational career as an elementary music teacher in
1998. I then earned my master’s degree in school counseling and have K-12
experience as a school counselor. After achieving National Board certification
in 2011, I learned the importance of ensuring that both teaching and learning
occur in all classrooms through reflection of the video analysis process. This
was a defining moment in my career, and since then, my passion for helping
every student experience academic success has strengthened. I went on to earn
administrative certification and doctoral degree in Educational
Leadership at the University of South Alabama and was the school principal at
Semmes Elementary for five 1/2 years. I take my role as school leader seriously
and work tirelessly to support all teachers in becoming experts in their
content areas. I have a musical background in piano, chorus, band, and show
choir, and am excited about seeing Dunbar students perform in the near
future. I live in Mobile and am married
with two sons and a daughter-in-law. We are an active family and love to
travel, hike, and eat great food.
