Colton Middle School

Dear Falcon Families, 

It is with great enthusiasm and gratitude that I write this letter of introduction as the new Assistant Principal of Colton Middle School. I am truly honored to have been offered the opportunity to serve our Falcon families.  I look forward to joining the Falcon community and supporting Dr. Hibb as we work together to foster a positive school culture centered on supporting all students to achieve their personal and academic bests.

During my eleven years with the Corona-Norco Unified School District, I have served as a Department Chair for the AP Capstone Program and lead social science teacher for the Umoja Program. Both programs emphasized culturally informed instructional practices to improve student engagement and academic proficiencies amongst our traditionally underserved students. During this time, I also served as a Varsity Girls Basketball Coach and Teacher on Special Assignment, coordinating the afterschool programs across our district.

My educational background includes studying adolescent psychology while earning a B.A. in Psychology and a Master’s Degree in Human Resources Design. After attaining my Single Subject Credential in both biological sciences and social sciences I began working across various grade levels in the secondary setting.

My experiences as a coach, educator and life long learner have all helped inspire my decision to become an administrator as I am motivated to serve my community and strive to make a positive impact on those around me. Diversity, inclusion and leading with empathy are all pillars of my own educational philosophy and I am committed to ensuring educational equity for all students and creating a school wide environment in which students feel welcomed and enjoy a sense of belonging on campus.

I believe in the mantra that “it takes a village” to truly nurture a child’s personal and academic growth and as such I look forward to working closely with parents, teachers, students and all other school leaders on our campus to best support our students’ needs. My office doors are always open and I look forward to meeting you. Las puertas de mi oficina están siempre abiertas y me dará mucho gusto conocerlos. Therefore, in closing, it is my distinct pleasure to join the Falcon family as we collaborate throughout the school year. Go Falcons!!!!
