Hardy School Community,
I am honored to serve as the interim principal at Hardy Elementary School and consider it a privilege to provide leadership and support to the school and community. I am looking forward to meeting the Hardy community and becoming part of the school during my time here.
My 32-year career in education began as a middle school teacher in Lakeside, where I taught mathematics, science, technology, digital arts, animation, yearbook, and media broadcasting. I later served as an instructional coach, supporting teachers in creating innovative and impactful learning for their students. I then served as an administrator at Riverview International Academy, Winter Gardens Elementary, Eucalyptus Hill Elementary, and Innovation Middle School. After a rewarding career with Lakeside Union and San Diego Unified, I retired in the spring of 2025.
During my time at Hardy, my goal is to support the positive relationships, collaboration, and sense of community that already exist among staff, students, families, and the broader Hardy community. I look forward to listening, learning, and working alongside everyone to help make these coming weeks a positive and productive experience for the school.
Thank you for taking the time to learn a little about my background and what I value as an educator. I look forward to meeting the staff, students, and families of Hardy Elementary.
Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or if there is anything I can do to support you during my time at Hardy.
With gratitude,
