Leadership

Dear Bricker Families,

With great enthusiasm, I will serve as your Principal at Bricker Elementary starting with school year 2024-2025. This coincides with my celebration of 20 years in education. I began in D2 as a paraprofessional and went on to support students with special needs. I continued my career as a middle school physical education teacher, coached and advised many different clubs, and then moved to the elementary level, serving as a 4th and 5th grade teacher and PE teacher. During this time, I received my master's degree in educational leadership from UCCS and another in Sports Administration from the University of Northern Colorado. I then served as Grant Coordinator, Dean of Teaching, Teaching and Learning Coach, and Assistant Principal in another district in Colorado Springs. This year, I lead and develop students, staff, and the community I serve as the Principal of an Elementary School.

I view education as a lifelong process for everyone involved in the educational system. I am excited to learn about Bricker Elementary School's uniqueness this year and in the years to come. Most importantly, I believe that students are central to all school-related decisions. I am excited to unite my experience, open attitude, and whole-child approach to support all students.

On a personal note, I enjoy spending time with my daughter, Lillie, a high schooler. She plays flag football and basketball, runs track, cheers, and participates in many clubs. Buddy, our mini goldendoodle, is a retired service animal and a valued family member. I am incredibly close with my family. We live within a mile of each other. I love to travel, work in my yard, hike, watch movies, and enjoy anything and everything Disney.

I am honored to accept the position of Principal at Bricker Elementary, where I hope to serve and inspire all I come in contact with. I will bring the Bricker community a welcoming, engaging, collaborative, trusting, and transparent environment. My ultimate goal is to partner with our community, families, staff, and students to create an exceptional elementary school experience for everyone.I look forward to meeting you all!
