It is with great excitement that I write this to you as your new Associate Principal of Powell Elementary. I feel extremely fortunate to now be part of this school community and play a role in supporting the staff, students, and families of Powell. I am thrilled to bring my skills as an educator and leader to work with you toward student success and family engagement.
This year will be my 15th year as an educator, of which the last 10 years have been in NISD at Passmore Elementary (9 years) and Murnin Elementary (1 year). My experience as a classroom teacher includes 10 years as a 3rd grade teacher and 4 years as a 1st grade teacher.
I have a strong belief that we are life-long learners and expect that I will continue to learn much in this role. Most importantly, I bring a belief that students belong at the center of all school-related decisions. I am ready to utilize my experience and beliefs to support staff, our students, and our community. Because the relationships between teachers, administrators and families are vital to the success of our students and school, I am looking forward to meeting and getting to know each of you. Here’s to an exciting year of learning and growing together!
