Why are you at CSAS? I have a personal connection to the Paideia philosophy having taught in a previous school where components of the philosophy were implemented. I was able to see the impact teaching and learning had on children. Our learning environment encourages children to think at higher levels on a daily basis. I am honored to be apart of this school community and look forward to serving the students, parents, and teachers at CSAS.
Favorite sports team: Tennessee Titans
Favorite children's book: Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing by Judy Blume

I am thrilled to be part of the administrative team at CSAS where my personal philosophy of education mirrors that of the “Paideia Philosophy” of a “classical” education for ALL students. A classical education is the cornerstone on which communities, societies, and countries are built. The successful education of a child involves the parent, community, school, and child. Each one having its own unique duties and responsibilities to ensure ALL students grow in knowledge and wisdom to become productive responsible citizens. I consider it a great privilege and honor to work with the CSAS family….as together we find our way as “Life Long Learners” for the protection and continued development of communities, societies, and countries.
Favorite quote: I have so many…but let’s go with this one. “….Extraordinary people talk about IDEAS, Average people talk about Things, Small people talk about people”
Hobbies: I like running and enjoying the outdoors, reading fiction for fun and non-fiction for personal growth, watching my son play soccer and basketball, and living life outloud!
