I have been the proud principal of Sycamore Creek Elementary School since January 2018.  This is my 32nd year in education, all of which have been at year-round schools. I am a teacher at heart and have continued to teach through all of my positions, including sixth grade teacher, fourth grade teacher, Instructional Resource Teacher, and Assistant Principal.  My personal mission at Sycamore Creek is to love, serve, challenge, and inspire ALL learners. I am so honored to be a member of such a loving, dedicated, and collaborative school community.  The students and staff are so enthusiastic about creating a supportive learning environment, and they make me so proud every day. I am overwhelmed by the support of the PTA and Sycamore Creek families, and I love that we are such a strong school community. This school year our Sycamore Creek Crocs are dedicated to magnifying student voices and our theme is "Let the World Hear You Roar!"  We want the world to know that we are WILD ABOUT SYCAMORE!   I look forward to continuing to serve your children and families this year.

I am so excited about joining the Sycamore Creek community this year as the administrative intern. This school year I will be working closely with the administration team to support the needs of all students and staff. Before coming to Sycamore Creek, I taught third grade for nineteen years, twelve at Leesville Road Elementary and seven at Southwest Elementary in Durham. I graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with a degree in Elementary Education and then earned a master's degree in reading instruction from North Carolina State University. I am currently working towards a Master's in School Administration at UNC Chapel Hill. I love Sycamore Creek's school mission to love all, serve all and challenge all. I can't wait to get started serving this wonderful school community.
