“I am truly honored and excited to join the Eastside Elementary community as your new principal! It feels especially meaningful to be part of a Leader in Me school, where empowering students to lead and grow is at the heart of everything we do.I earned my undergraduate degree in Elementary Education from Lander University, a master’s degree in Educational Leadership from Southern Wesleyan University, and an additional degree in Administration from Gardner-Webb University. Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with my family, reading a good book, working in the garden, and finding time to get away to the beach.I look forward to building strong relationships with our students, staff, and families while continuing the tradition of excellence that already makes Eastside such a special place. I can’t wait to get started and grow together.”
