Leadership

Principal

I’m truly honored to serve as interim principal of Punta Gorda Middle School. I’ve had the privilege of working alongside our students, teachers, and families, and I’m excited to continue that work in this new role. Our focus will always be on helping every student feel supported, challenged, and confident in their learning. I’m proud of the progress we’ve made, and I can’t wait to keep moving forward together toward our goal of becoming an A school.

Assistant Principal of Curriculum

I am thrilled to introduce myself as Assistant Principal of Curriculum. I have been part of our district for several years. I am excited to bring my experience and passion for education to our community, specifically in the area of student learning. I am ecstatic to be part of the Punta Gorda Middle family and community. I am honored that I was given this opportunity.

I formerly lived in Englewood and attended Charlotte County schools for Elementary, Middle and High School. My passion has always been working with kids. At a young age, I knew making a difference was my calling. I was lucky enough to gain insight on the job profession by volunteering with my mother. Looking back, those experiences shaped and guided me to fulfill my dream of working in education and with children. I graduated high school and attended State College of Florida and Florida Gulf Coast University. There I obtained my Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education. I furthered my career at American College of Education where I received my Masters in Educational Leadership. I am proud to share that I have more than 15 years of educational experience within our district, instructional and administrative.

On a personal note, I’d like to share a little about my family. I currently live in North Port with my husband and son, Liam, and daughter, Laine. We are a very active family. If we are not at the baseball fields we are on the boat fishing. We enjoy spending time as a family and making new memories.

I look forward to getting to know each of you and learning about the unique strengths and traditions that make our school special. As I step into this role, my goal is to support you in every way possible, particularly in fostering a positive and respectful school environment.

Once again, I am very thankful for this remarkable opportunity. I am devoted to you, our students, family members, and community. I am excited for a successful and rewarding year ahead, working together to create a safe and supportive environment for all our students. I am here if you need anything. Do not hesitate to reach out to me by email or phone.
