Meet the Pre-K–8th Grade Principal

•  

• Dear Ashby Public School Families,

• Heading into the 2025-2026 school year, I am filled with great joy and excitement to continue serving the community as PK–8 Principal of Ashby Public School. I am truly honored to be part of a school community that values curiosity, kindness, connection, and a lasting legacy.  I can’t wait to come alongside you on this journey.

• In Ashby, we believe that every child deserves to feel seen, heard, and cared for in their learning. From our youngest preschoolers to our 8th graders preparing for the next chapter, all of our students are an important part of our school family. I am committed to building a safe and challenging space where students can develop not only academically, but socially and emotionally as well.

• As an educator and a parent myself, I know just how much a strong school-home relationship can mean. Communication, teamwork, and trust are the foundation that makes a school thrive, and I look forward to building those connections with you throughout the year. Whether we’re celebrating student successes, working through challenges, or simply sharing a smile in the hallway, please know that my door is always open.

• To our students—welcome! I am so excited to see your creativity, hear your questions, and watch you become brave learners and kind classmates. This is going to be an awesome year full of learning, growth, laughter, and friendships.

• Thank you for the warm welcome I’ve already experienced as I transition to this new role. I am so proud to be part of the Ashby community and am eager to support our students, families, and staff in all the meaningful work ahead.
