Principal Message

It is an honor to be selected as the next principal of Rock Creek Elementary and to join such a strong and caring community. I look forward to meeting members of the Rock Creek community and beginning to build relationships grounded in our shared commitment to supporting students' learning and growth.

A native Oregonian, I began my teaching career in Southern California before returning to Oregon, where I’ve served at Beaver Acres and Oak Hills, followed by my time as assistant principal at Findley Elementary. For the past eight years, I’ve had the privilege of serving as principal at Cedar Mill Elementary. I’m now excited to begin a new chapter and build strong connections within the Rock Creek community.

I believe in the power of a collaborative learning environment—where students, parents/caregivers, and staff work together to ensure equitable access and meaningful opportunities for every student’s success. Every member of the school community plays a vital role in fostering student learning and growth. As your principal, I am committed to supporting students, staff, families, and the broader Rock Creek community.

In the coming months, my primary focus will be to listen, learn, and understand the Rock Creek community so I can build on the great work already in motion.

I am truly grateful for the opportunity to serve as Rock Creek’s next principal and look forward to partnering with all of you to provide an exceptional educational experience for every student in the year ahead.

Principal, Rock Creek Elementary (effective July 1, 2025)
