Why Montgomery County?
As a former student of MCPS, and current educator, there is truly no place I would rather be an administrator. My core values are directly aligned with the county’s and I am eager to make an even larger impact as I step away from my classroom. Montgomery County has given me the opportunity to learn and teach. I only hope I can give back in a way that reflects positively on this learning community.
