It is my privilege to serve as the Assistant Principal at Belcher Elementary. I received a Bachelor’s degree in Special Education and General Education from Clarion University of Pennsylvania. Later, I obtained my Master’s degree in Educational Leadership from University of South Florida. After moving to Pinellas County with my husband in 2004, I worked as a Special Education Teacher, General Education Teacher and Instructional Staff Developer for Elementary Mathematics Department for the district. During my career, I have gained experience in grades kindergarten to 5^th grade in regular education and special education. I am a proud mom of two boys, Xavier and Kyuss, which makes my life exciting and fulfilling.

At Belcher, we believe that all students can learn and we act on those beliefs so that all students may achieve their highest learning potential in a safe environment. There are many opportunities to become involved in your child’s educational experience. The partnership between home and school can impact your child tremendously. I look forward to working collaboratively with the Belcher families, teachers and students to make sure the children enjoy school and are successful.
