Hello Mustangs! I am excited to be joining the Midlothian Middle School team again! I am a proud graduate of Chesterfield County Public Schools – Go Knights! I began my teaching career as a Spanish Teacher here at Midlothian Middle School. I also taught in the Spanish Immersion Specialty Center at Manchester High School. Most recently, I was an assistant principal at Bailey Bridge Middle School. I am extremely excited to work with our students, parents, and the community so that we can build high character in our students through rigorous academic experiences. Go Mustangs!
