Hello, Cabin John Middle School community! This school year will be my fourth year as the principal of Cabin John Middle School and my 7^th year as a Cabin John Cougar. I am originally from Pocono Pines, Pennsylvania, and moved to Maryland back in 2005 to continue my career in education. This will be my 19th year as an educator in MCPS. Before becoming an administrator, I served as a Mathematics Teacher, 8^th grade Team Leader, Mathematics Content Specialist, and an Instructional Specialist supporting schools with math instruction and writing curricula. I started my journey in educational administration at Roberto Clemente where I was the Assistant Principal supervising the magnet programs there for 3 years. After leaving Roberto Clemente, I came to Cabin John where I was an Assistant Principal for 3 years before becoming the Principal.

As principal of Cabin John Middle School, I am committed to providing an individual, unique experience for every student who enters our classrooms. An innovative, high quality school community relies on the ability and desire of the entire staff to spark a love of learning in all students. This is the vision that I exemplify and communicate to the Cabin John Middle School community every day.

My husband and I have four amazing children, 7 year old twins, a 6 year old, and a 3 year old. We are always busy and living our dream!

Hello Cabin John Middle School community! This is my fourth year at CJMS and I am excited to be a part of such a wonderful community. I am a Montgomery County product through and through. I was born, raised, and graduated in MCPS. This will be my 17th year as an educator in MCPS. Prior to my current position, I was a P.E. and Health teacher, 8th and 6th-grade team leader, Restorative Justice Coordinator, and Assistant School Administrator. I have a passion for relationship building and equity in education. A little bit about my personal life, I am happily married with 2 young children and love any and all sports! I am proud to be a Cabin John cougar and serve this community of learners. Looking forward to another great school year!

Greetings Cabin John Middle School community! This school year will be my fourth year as a Cabin John Cougar, and I feel incredibly privileged to serve this community and our students and families. I am originally from Archbald, Pennsylvania, and after graduating from Kutztown University of Pennsylvania, I moved to Montgomery County, Maryland to teach. This will be my 17th year as an educator in MCPS. Prior to serving as an assistant principal, I was the Academy Coordinator/IB teacher at John F. Kennedy High School; a consulting teacher in the Office of Human Resources and Development; Project SUCCESS teacher at Argyle Magnet Middle School (AMMS); social studies content specialist and team leader at AMMS. Prior to my leadership experience, I served as a social studies teacher at Sligo Middle School to start my career in MCPS. My core values are kindness, empathy, and integrity. After traveling with the same group of students for three years, I am so proud of my students who have successfully promoted to high school! While I am sad to part with these students, I am so excited to welcome our newest CJMS Cougars! My theme with my students every year is to always work toward consistently showing kindness toward ourselves and others. If we begin and end with kindness, everything else will fall into place. My wife and I live in Wheaton, Maryland, and we have one amazing 4.5 year old daughter who is going to be five in the fall. With all this said, I am super excited for this school year and for our 6^th graders to have a great start to their school year!

Hello Cabin John Middle School community! This is my first year at CJMS and I am excited to be a part of this amazing school community. I was born and raised in South Carolina. I am a proud South Carolina State University Bulldog! I moved to the area for graduate study at The George Washington University. I have taught science at the middle and high school levels. I have been a Science Content Specialist for the past 13 years. I value building and sustaining positive relationships, equity in education, and providing students with tools to reach their highest potential. I enjoy hiking around local parks, watching movies, and dining out. I am looking forward to a stellar school year!
