I am grateful for the opportunity to serve as Vice Principal of Wainwright Elementary School.  Within my role as Vice Principal, I experience many joys.    When it comes to the kids, it's their joy for life, their smiles, the hugs, camaraderie, the glint in their eyes, the help asked for, the thanks given. With the staff, I get joy from seeing their love for the kids, their unwavering dedication,  and their boundless enthusiasm. And with the parents, their thanks, their support, and their love for their children all bring me joy.

Education is the great equalizer, an instrument to change the world. It is with the above mentioned that I go forward to make a positive impact towards lifelong learning and leadership in our schools so our students will make their own positive and lasting impact in our world.

Our mission statement at WES speaks to our commitment to nurturing kindness and responsibility within our school community,

"We are a safe, caring, respectful community of leaders." "Together, leading by example,”

I am looking forward to partnering with all WES stakeholders to give our students what each and every one of them deserves—the opportunity to grow and develop as learners and leaders within a safe, caring, and respectful community.
