This year marks my seventh year at Marine View Middle School and fifth year as Principal.  I am very fortunate to work with such an amazing staff, students, parents and community. The Marine View staff is dedicated to providing a safe environment that fosters higher-level thinking, collaboration, inclusivity, and creativity.  I believe middle school is a pivotal point in a student’s educational career and our job is to prepare and guide our students on a path of success into high school and beyond. I am very excited to celebrate the many successes to come!

Prior to becoming the Principal at Marine View, I served as the Assistant Principal for two years.  When I joined the Marine View team, I brought experience gained while working in the Los Angeles Unified School District for 13 years, where I was a teacher and Assistant Principal.  I grew up in the Midwest and attended college at North Dakota State University where I earned my teaching degree.  After earning my degree, I moved to Southern California to begin my teaching career and went on to earn my master’s degree in School Administration at Concordia University, Irvine. 

Outside of my time at Marine View, I enjoy spending time with my family and taking in all the beauty of Southern California.
