It gives me great pleasure to introduce myself as your new Parent Liaison/Family Engagement. I look forward to working with families, students, and staff to build home–school partnerships and promote family engagement to support academic success.

About Me

I am a retired U.S. Army officer with 25 years of experience in public relations, supporting Family Readiness Groups, hosting events, and building stakeholder relationships. I also have classroom experience as a military instructor and a former Gwinnett County substitute teacher, giving me practical insight into school operations.

I am married with three kids, ages 12, 15, and 19. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, working out, and traveling.
