I am thrilled and honored to serve as an Assistant Principal here at Thomas Edison High School. I’ve served our school and school community since 2014 and look forward to many more in this new role. 

I have worked for Minneapolis Public School students since 2001. I taught social studies for five years at two MPS contract alternative schools, eventually moving into a leadership position with the Metropolitan Federation of Alternative Schools (MFAS), a nonprofit that serves all the contract alternative programs in Minneapolis and St Paul. 

In 2010, I joined MPS as a School Improvement Specialist, working directly with the leadership teams at the MPS contract alternative schools, our special education programs, and at Cityview, Longfellow, and North High. 

In 2014, I was fortunate enough to move to Edison as our Data and Assessment Coordinator and got to know all our students and staff during those two years I was in that postion. In the 2016-17 school year, had the great opportunity to coordinate Edison’s SHARP program (School Within a School credit recovery program). 

I earned my Bachelor of Arts in History from the University of Minnesota (1999), a Master in Teaching Degree from The Evergreen State College (2001), and an Educational Specialist Degree from the University of St. Thomas (2015). I am licensed in the State of Minnesota to teach 7-12 Social Studies and have my K-12 Principal license.

I LOVE being a Tommie, but during my downtime, I love to read, walk around the lakes, bike the Minneapolis bike trails, and tryout new places to eat across the Twin Cities. My husband Mark and I live in the Audubon Park neighborhood of Northeast Minneapolis.

I look forward to continuing to serve our Edison community! Go Tommies!
