I am elated to introduce myself to the Ponderosa Pony Family as the newly named Principal. I am overwhelmed with joy to serve our scholars, while working alongside other leaders and educators to continue to elevate and execute their educational needs. I am committed to ensuring that while in our care, your child will always know that they are valued, loved, and created with a purpose.
 
Education is my passion! I have demonstrated this passion throughout my career by serving in the positions of elementary teacher, instructional specialist, assistant principal, and principal resident. I am known for having a great balance of building a positive culture while also holding others accountable to high expectations. You will often hear me state, "this is more than my career, this is my ministry."
 
I have had the honor to be awarded and recognized as the Rookie Teacher of the Year (2015), Parents Choice Teacher of the Year (2016), Who’s Who in Black Houston – Educators - Real Time Media (2016), Prairie View A&M University 40 under Forty Alumni (2017), the Apple Educators Appreciation Award (2017), Houston's Top Teachers - Local Houston Magazine (2018) and Local Spotlight - Vogue Magazine (2019).
​
I am a member of the Brazos Valley Alliance of Black School Educators, the Texas Alliance of Black School Educators, and the Thurgood Marshall College Fund Teacher Quality Retention Program. I am also a member of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc., the Eta Rho Sigma Chapter.
 
I received my bachelor's degree in sociology from Prairie View A&M University, my master's degree in curriculum & instruction from Houston Baptist University, and my principal certification from Lamar University.

I am looking forward to partnering with you as we ensure all CHAMPIONS receive high-quality instruction in a positive learning environment that will prepare them to succeed.
