I am both honored and excited to continue serving as the Principal at Bastrop Middle School. This year marks my fourth year leading BMS, and I am incredibly proud of the fact that, under my leadership, our campus has significantly improved our instructional practices and TEA accountability rating. These achievements are a direct result of the collective hard work and dedication of our phenomenal staff and students.

As we move forward, I look forward to continuing my work alongside our leadership team, teachers, and staff in our ongoing efforts to advance the academic achievement of every student on our campus.

Educational Background & Philosophy

My passion for education and supporting the success of all students has been shaped over the past fourteen  years serving as an English teacher, instructional coach, assistant principal, and associate principal. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Communications from Texas State University and a Master’s degree in Educational Leadership from the University of Texas at Tyler.

The Bastrop community is a truly special place that I am incredibly proud to be a part of. My goal this year is to provide the steady leadership necessary to facilitate a school environment that is both safe and engaging, ensuring your child receives the best possible instruction. I am entirely confident that Bastrop Middle School will continue to be a place where our students learn, thrive, and grow both academically and socially.
