Assistant Principal

I am incredibly excited to serve as the new Assistant Principal of Aldridge Elementary, where our motto is Knowing, Developing, and Building, doing what is best for kids.

I was born and raised right here in Plano, Texas, and I have been a proud member of the Plano ISD community for the majority of my life. I attended Memorial Elementary, Armstrong Middle School, and Williams High School, before graduating from Plano East Senior High in 1997. After high school, I went on to attend The University of Texas at Austin. Hook ‘Em Horns! Let’s go Arch! 

With 22 years of experience in education, 21 of which have been spent serving in Plano ISD, I am deeply committed to supporting our students and helping them grow academically, socially, and emotionally. My journey as an educator took me all the way from a 4th grade classroom at Miller Elementary to a classful of seniors at Plano East taking Economics. I’ve also had the privilege of coaching middle and high school basketball for Plano ISD.

For the last four years, I have served as an Assistant Principal at Schimelpfenig Middle School. This role has further developed my leadership skills and has given me a greater appreciation for the impact that positive, collaborative relationships can have on student growth and success.

I am incredibly excited to be joining Aldridge Elementary and to partner with each of you to support our amazing students. I look forward to working together to create an environment where all students feel safe, happy, valued, and motivated to reach their full potential.
