Welcome
to Thompson! I'm so excited to be on the JCT team serving as the
principal for the eighth year as we pursue our mission for creating
future ready students. I am proud to be on this incredible team of
educators working with outstanding students, parents, and community!
I've been in Northwest ISD for twelve years, two as a special education
and math teacher, one as a Campus Instructional Teacher, four as an
assistant principal, and eight years in the principal role. Prior to
finding my home in Northwest, I worked in another school district for
seven years as a special education teacher K-6 and a 5th and 6th grade
math teacher. I'm proud to be a Thompson Trailblazer. I believe in the
Northwest vision and our Thompson mission. I'm eager to be a part of our
vision to be the best and most sought after school district in Texas
where every student will be future ready.
Background
I
graduated with my Bachelor's degree from the University of Windsor in
Ontario, Canada in 1996. I'm a native Canadian who has lived in Texas
for 15 years. I love it here, especially in the winter, but even in the
summer! I graduated with my Master's degree from Texas Woman's
University in 2007. I graduated with my doctoral degree in 2012 from
Nova Southeastern University. I love learning and I believe nurturing
the love of learning in our students is essential to their success.
I'm
married to a wonderful man named Paul. We have a sweet, beautiful twelve year old girl who makes us laugh every day and a handsome ten year
old boy who is a joy to watch as explores our world.
Watching them learn, accept challenges, and discover new things reinforces every day why
it's so important for all of us to provide our kids with fun and
challenging experiences that encourage them to want to know and do more.
I
am enjoying my years at Thompson and looking forward to another great
year. I look forward to working with our kids, our parents and our
community members. Please contact me with any questions, concerns, and
celebrations. Together, we will make this another great year for our
kids!
