I am honored and excited to introduce myself as the new principal of Dover Elementary and to join the incredible Dover Dolphins family. As a lifelong educator, I am passionate about creating a positive, student-centered environment where every child and staff member feels supported, challenged, and empowered to reach their fullest potential. I have proudly served my whole career in Richardson ISD, beginning as a Special Education teacher and department chair before spending the past eight years as Assistant Principal at Richardson West Junior High Arts and Technology Magnet. During that time, I had the privilege of working with many Dover students as they entered junior high, and I am thrilled to now support them from the very beginning of their educational journey. I believe that success happens when expectations are high, relationships are strong, and every student has the support they need to grow. My husband, Scott, and I have two children, Charlee, who will be in fifth grade, and Cason, who is excited to begin kindergarten this year. I look forward to partnering with our students, staff, and families to make the 2026–2027 school year a wonderful one. My door is always open!
