PRINCIPAL

I am the proud principal of The Green Wave.  I have been a building principal for many years!  I have been a principal at Saddlebrook Elementary, Florence Elementary and King Elementary.  Before I became a principal, I taught at Kellom Elementary.  I love being a building principal.  My goal is to create an environment that allows all students to be the best that they can be.  Through hard work and having everyone work together, we can accomplish anything!  

When I am not being a principal I love spending time with my family.  My daugther and son, who also went to Saddlebrook, keep me very busy.  They are active in many activities like volleyball, basketball, wrestling, football, and swim.  My hobbies are reading, doing anything sport related, exercising, going to the lake, and watching the Hawkeyes, Raiders, and Cardinals play.  

I am truly honored to be the principal at Saddlebrook, and look forward to the amazing things that we can accomplish.  If you ever need anything, please do not hesitate to reach out to me.
