About Us

Welcome to Fulton Elementary School, home of the Falcons! I am honored to serve as the proud principal of FES, bringing with me 19 years of dedicated experience. My journey in education began at The College of William and Mary for my undergraduate studies, followed by The Pennsylvania State University where I earned my Master’s in Special Education, and finally, George Washington University where I completed my Doctorate in Educational Leadership. Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of working in various roles including Special Education teacher, Literacy Coach, Response to Intervention Coordinator, and Assistant Principal, enriching my understanding of diverse educational needs. From a young age, education has been my passion. Inspired by my parents and aunts, who were educators themselves, I always saw education as the gateway to limitless opportunities. As principal of Fulton Elementary, I am committed to nurturing this passion in every child who walks through our doors. At Fulton, we envision a community where diversity is celebrated, positive relationships are cultivated, and every individual achieves personal success, contributing meaningfully to our global society. Together with our dedicated staff, I am committed to realizing this vision. Outside of school, I cherish spending time with my husband Kermit and our twins, Madie and Cole. We love traveling, biking, and playing together. Whether you're a parent/guardian, or community member, I invite you to connect with me. Your partnership is invaluable as we work together to create an enriching educational experience for our students at Fulton Elementary School. Thank you for being a part of our journey!

I am thrilled to be part the Fulton Community and to be a Fulton Falcon! I was born and raised on the Jersey Shore. I attended Towson University and received my Bachelor's degree in Elementary/Special Education. I completed my student teaching internships in Howard County, which led me to move to Maryland. I started my teaching career at Waterloo Elementary School where I taught second and third grade. In 2013, I had the privilege of opening Ducketts Lane Elementary School as the second grade Instructional Team Leader and then spent six years as the fifth grade Instructional Team Leader before transitioning to the Leadership Intern at Bollman Bridge. This is my eighteenth year in education! While teaching, I attended McDaniel College and received my Master's degree in Curriculum and Instruction with a focus in Leadership. Working with children and helping them reach their greatest potential is a true passion of mine! I whole heartedly believe every child can succeed when provided the right opportunities and supports. I look forward to building positive relationships with the Fulton staff, students and community and working collaboratively to ensure we are providing all students with an equitable learning environment that is centered on social-emotional well-being and academic success for every child. During my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, especially my sons Parker (10) and Griffin (6) and husband Matt. I also love going to the beach, traveling, cooking, watching football (Go JETS!), exercising and crafting. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me! I am looking forward to our partnership throughout your child’s(rens’) educational journey!

I am so excited to be a part of the Fulton Elementary community! I am originally from New York and moved to Maryland after graduating from Loyola College with a degree in Elementary Education and Masters Degree in Special Education. As I continued my journey in education, I attended McDaniel College with a focus on School Leadership. This is my 18th year serving Howard County Public Schools. I have taught first and third grade at both Atholton Elementary and Ducketts Lane Elementary School. I also worked as a Title I teacher working with students in both Reading and Math interventions. Most recently, I was the Leadership Intern at Veterans Elementary. I truly believe that all students can achieve and learn given a nurturing and caring environment where their strengths and unique abilities are highlighted. I look forward to building positive relationships with the staff, students and community of Fulton Elementary and working together to provide an environment focused on well being and academic success. In my time outside of school, I enjoy spending time with my husband, Chris, and my children Harper and Aidan. We love to travel to see family and friends, spend time at the beach and being outside! I am here for you and your family, please do not hesitate to reach out by phone or email.
