Wildwood Intermediate

We Are One…………Raise up the Wildcats!

Wildwood is growing, and I am excited and honored to be a part of that growth in the capacity as Assistant Principal at the new Wildwood Intermediate School. I have been an educator in Sumter County for the past twenty- two years. During that time, I have taught third through fifth grades and served in various leadership roles, including Literacy Coach, Assistant Principal Intern, and Assistant Principal. The 2012- 2013 school year led me to Wildwood Elementary School, and I have worked in the Wildwood community ever since. With a diverse range of experience, I have had the opportunity to impact students at every grade level (K-12). Nothing brings me more joy than empowering students and watching them reach their full potential.

I wholeheartedly believe that ALL students can learn, and they each deserve a high-quality education. I am committed to working with our students, families, staff, and community to ensure that every student has the necessary resources, opportunities, and support to achieve their personal best. I look forward to a great school year at Wildwood Intermediate School, where Success is the only option!

As a proud former Sumter County student, I am both humbled and honored to serve the community that has given me so much.  The strong foundation laid by the dedicated educators who shaped my early years inspired me to pursue a career in education.

I earned a Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education from Saint Leo University and went on to receive a Master’s degree in Educational Leadership from the University of Central Florida.  My career began in the classroom, and over the course of 15 years, I served in various roles, including MTSS Coordinator and Reading Coach. In 2012, I transitioned into school administration, where I continue to dedicate myself to supporting student success and promoting educational excellence.

The statement, “Teach as if our students’ lives depend on it -- because they do,” has been the guiding principle throughout my journey as an educator. It fuels my passion for education and informs every decision I make in service of our students and schools.

Today, I am thrilled to be working at Wildwood Elementary where we are “Walking with Excellence and Success.” I look forward to working together to ensure every child has the opportunity to thrive.
