I am excited to introduce myself as the new principal of the Landisville Education Center. I am honored to be joining such a dedicated staff and community that make Hempfield School District a great place for students to learn and grow.

The 2024-2025 school year marks my 12^th year in education. I spent most of my educational career as an emotional support teacher, serving grades 1 – 7 in both public and residential facilities. I worked as a Special Education Consultant with the Lancaster-Lebanon Intermediate Unit 13, supporting students and staff in center-based programming. While I sincerely enjoyed working in the classroom, the principal position allows me the opportunity to observe students learning and connect with their teachers to learn about their needs and what instructional practices will assist in their growth.

I am committed to working collaboratively with you, teachers, and staff to help all students succeed. I believe that communication is essential for establishing a partnership with you to support your child. Your input is invaluable in creating a positive educational experience. I look forward to working with you to ensure Landisville Education Center is an environment where every child can excel.
