Family Briar "Cliff" Notes
July 2018
Who Am I?
My biggest pride and joy are first and foremost my two amazing boys. Slayton is 10 and going into 4th grade and Stone is 8, going into 3rd grade. They both attend school in Liberty where I spent the past 14 years as a teacher, instructional coach and assistant principal. Prior to my time in Liberty, I spent 3 years in Nebraska as a teacher! Yes, I am a Husker Fan, raised there during the school year with my mom. And, a Cubs Fan, spending my summer in a suburb of Chicago with my dad.
I am beyond excited to get this school year started. Becoming a principal has been a goal and dream of mine. I was patient in waiting for the right time and right place, and here I landed at Briarcliff, my new home away from home.
I think most who know me well would describe me as passionate. I am very passionate about the work and students I serve each and everyday. What I want for my Briarcliff Family is what I want for my own children. I desire to support and facilitate the growth of each of my students to be life ready and ethically grounded through innovative educational experiences. I look forward to meeting you soon!
