Dear Crockett Crusaders Families,
Welcome to Crockett Elementary, home of the Crusaders! I am absolutely thrilled to serve as your proud principal. My heart is full of gratitude and excitement as I think about the incredible work ahead of us and the privilege of leading a campus where students always come first.
I hold a Master’s Degree in Educational Administration from Sam Houston State University and a Bachelor’s Degree in Interdisciplinary Studies from Texas Southern University, where I graduated magna cum laude and had the honor of serving as Miss College of Education. Throughout my career I have been blessed to receive several recognitions including ESL Teacher of the Year, finalist for the Houston Area Association for Bilingual Educators awards, District Teacher of the Year in 2016–2017, and most recently the District Principal of the Year for the 2023–2024 school year.
I am also the author of five books: House System Magic, Mia and the Rainbow Planet, Kai and the Dinosaurs, Animal Adventures: Being Nice vs. Being Kind, and Nurturing the Leader. Each of these works was written with children, families, and educators in mind because helping students grow, discover who they are, and reach their fullest potential is what drives me every single day.
My heart and soul belong to education. I believe deeply that excellence is the standard and that every child deserves a safe and supportive environment where curiosity is encouraged and success is celebrated. I was shaped by incredible educators who changed my life and I strive every day to be that same positive force for our students here at Crockett.
I live here in Baytown with my loving husband and our four amazing children, and like so many of our families, I am invested in this community. I am honored to share this journey with you as we work together to give every child a strong foundation for both academics and life.
I cannot wait to see all that we will accomplish together this school year. With the support of our staff, families, and community, I know this will be a year of growth, unity, and excellence.
Together, we will make this the best year yet because Crockett Crusaders can!
