I am very excited to be joining the Marion team as Principal for the 2021-22 school year! I have had the opportunity to be at the school since it started as the Superintendent, but nothing compares to having the chance to work with our team day to day. I can’t wait to continue building on the strong foundation Ms. Hutton and her team have set in place.
Prior to joining the Marion team, I served in school leadership for over a decade in Columbus, Jacksonville, and New York City. I also taught 2nd and 3rd grade.
I live in Lewis Center with my husband, 10-year-old daughter Ella, and my wild and crazy dog Sparkles! In my free time, I love cheering for my daughter’s volleyball team, hiking, reading, and trying new restaurants.
