I am honored to partner with our Traughber families and students as principal of our school. My first job in teaching was at the junior high level, where I worked for my first 10 years in education as a teacher and later as an assistant principal. I was a department leader, coach, and Athletic Director.  I then served as an elementary principal in both Indiana and here in SD308 at Homestead for 16 years. I earned both my bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Indiana University. I have experienced over the years that there are many pathways to success and I look forward to helping our students find the path that works best for each of them.
