I\u2019m honored to be serving in my 21st year in education and my 19th year here in the heart of Richardson ISD \u00a0a district that has shaped not only my career, but my whole family. All three of my children have attended RISD schools, and my husband and I have been proud to invest in this community and its work for years.<\/div><div dir=\"ltr\" data-ogsc=\"black\">\u00a0<\/div><div data-ogsc=\"black\">My journey in RISD began in the classroom, where I taught special education for seven years. I then served as a campus behavior specialist for three years before stepping into administration. Every season along the way has deepened my belief in meeting children where they are and helping them grow into confident, compassionate, and capable learners. I\u2019m committed to creating a safe, inclusive, and encouraging environment where every child feels seen, heard, and valued.<\/div><div dir=\"ltr\" data-ogsc=\"black\">\u00a0<\/div><div data-ogsc=\"black\">I\u2019m a proud Louisiana native, born and raised in Baton Rouge, so I love all things seafood and any excuse to gather around a good meal. When my husband and I aren\u2019t serving in education, you\u2019ll find us enjoying family time with our three children, traveling, and spending time in our community with friends.<\/div><div dir=\"ltr\" data-ogsc=\"black\">\u00a0<\/div><div data-ogsc=\"black\">As I enter my fifth year at Dartmouth, I can\u2019t wait to continue partnering with our families, championing our students, and building on the momentum of this amazing community. It\u2019s a privilege to serve here, and I look forward to all we\u2019ll accomplish together this year.<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element
