Dear CPA Gator Family,
It is a true honor and privilege to join you as the new Principal of Concordia Parish Academy of Math, Science, and Technology! I am incredibly excited to partner with each of you as we continue our upward climb toward academic excellence.
My passion has always been simple: helping young people discover their greatest potential, achieve at high levels, and grow into respectful, well-rounded citizens. Over the past 17 years in education, I’ve had the joy of serving students and schools in many different chapters of their journeys.
To help you get to know me a bit better, here is a quick snapshot of the experience and heart I bring to CPA:
In the Classroom: I spent over a decade teaching grades Kindergarten through 8th, specializing in English Language Arts, Mathematics, Gifted Education, Social Studies, and Career and Technical Education (CTE).
In Leadership: For the last six years, I’ve served school communities in various leadership capacities—most recently as an Assistant CTE Director, Assistant Principal, Instructional Math Coach, Reading Interventionist, Teacher Support Team Chairperson, and English Learner Coordinator.
At Home: On a personal note, I am the proud mother of one wonderful son, a dedicated caretaker for my sister, and a loving pet-parent to my furbaby.
My goal is to ensure that CPA remains a safe, challenging, and supportive environment that prepares our students to succeed in the world. I am fully committed to bringing my energy, dedication, hard-work ethic, and a collaborative spirit to our campus, but I know we do our best work when we do it together.
I would love the opportunity to connect with you, whether in person or virtually! Please feel free to call our front office at 318-757-2135 or click the link below to set up an appointment time for us to chat.

Principal
Concordia Parish Academy of Math, Science, and Technology
