I am honored to be the principal at Rush Elementary. I have been with LISD since starting my educational career in 2009 and I love being a part of such a supportive district.

I have my Bachelor's in Early Childhood from Texas Tech University and a masters degree in Administrative Leadership. I started my career teaching 1st grade at Bayless Elementary. I continued teaching at Wolffarth and transitioned to the RLA instructional coach. I then began my leadership journey as the assistant principal at Ervin Elementary and Waters Elementary. I am excited to begin my first year as principal at Rush and be a Rush roadrunner!

I have an amazing husband Merce, my son Madden and my daughter Maisyn. In our spare time, we enjoy playing games, watching movies, and spending time with our fur babies Max, Milo, and Marley Elsa.

We are going to have an amazing year at Rush! Please feel free to reach out if you ever have any questions, concerns, or great ideas! Together, we will continue to ensure Rush is the best place to be!
