Welcome to Northlake TK-8,  Home of the Jets.  I am excited to continue this journey together as we begin our second year of existence.  
 
With a wonderful career spanning 29 years in the education sector, I have a wealth of experience, with eighteen years dedicated to fostering a nurturing learning environment as an elementary educator and over a decade devoted to leadership roles as a school administrator. My dedication to educational excellence is underscored by my contributions to three prominent school districts: Fresno Unified, Clovis Unified, and, presently, Twin Rivers Unified.
 
As an educator, I am fueled by a profound passion to enhance the elementary school experience, advocating for a comprehensive approach that integrates academics, social-emotional learning, and hands-on experiences.  During my recent five-year tenure at Garden Valley Elementary, we were honored with  numerous accolades, including the prestigious 2022 California Pivotal Practice Award, The Achievement Initiative Attention 2 Attendance Exemplary Attendance Award, consistent yearly PBIS Implementation Awards, and the Twin Rivers Unified District Diamond Award for Academic Achievement.  Northlake TK-8 in our inaugural year proved successful academically, as well as athletically.  We are proud to share that we are the top performing school in the area and our students won numerous awards in basketball, cheer, and Math Bowl.  
 
My commitment to fostering an enriching educational journey is demonstrated  in my strategic initiatives, which have not only garnered recognition but have also significantly contributed to the overall success and positive reputation of the institutions I have served. I am looking forward to continue working collaboratively to make Northlake TK-8 the premier school in the Natomas community. 
 
 
Looking forward to meeting you and sharing the amazing programs and opportunities that we will be offering to our students.  Please feel free to reach out with any questions.
