Career highlights Career highlights

I have had the privilege of working for KUSD since 2000. During my time in KUSD I have been part of the teaching & support staff as well as administration. I was honored to be a member of the first staff at Mahone when it opened in 2002 and also Indian Trail when it opened as a comprehensive high school in 2011. Both experiences have been amazing and now I have come full circle to have the privilege of serving as the principal of Pleasant Prairie Elementary where our students feed into the two schools I have worked with great teams to develop! The KUSD community is one I greatly treasure and working with students, families and school staff is an experience I am forever grateful for. Any and all school accomplishments have been the result of incredible team work!

What I love most about LakeView What I love most about Pleasant Prairie

There are so many things! First, I love the diversity we have at Pleasant Prairie. Did you know that our school has twelve different native languages spoken? Come and visit, you’ll see the beauty of what our loving, friendly and exciting environment offers, you can feel it! This can’t be accomplished without incredible staff and supportive families who are driven to provide our students with engaging opportunities both in the classroom and with family events.
