Administration

Welcome to the 2025–2026 school year at Abrams Elementary! I am honored to continue serving this incredible Panther community as your principal for my second year. This year marks an exciting new chapter as we move into our brand-new, state-of-the-art building—our New Den—designed to serve and support our students and families for generations to come.

Our theme this year, “New Den, Same Pride,” reflects exactly who we are. While our building may be new, our commitment to excellence, relationships, and student success remains the same. At Abrams, we put kids first. We believe in building strong, meaningful relationships with students, families, and staff, and we are dedicated to putting in the effort to ensure every Panther grows, achieves, and feels valued.

This is my ninth year serving as a principal, with most of my experience at the elementary level. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of teaching, coaching educators, and serving in administrative roles across multiple states. These experiences have shaped my unwavering belief that all students can learn at high levels when they are supported, challenged, and surrounded by adults who care deeply about their success.

The opening of our New Den represents more than just a new facility—it represents opportunity. Opportunity to innovate. Opportunity to strengthen our Panther pride. Opportunity to continue building a school culture where every child feels safe, supported, and inspired to do their best.

My family and I feel incredibly grateful to call Colorado Springs home, and I am proud to be part of the Abrams community. Thank you for your continued partnership and trust. Together, we will make this year one to remember.

Here’s to a fantastic year in our New Den—with the same Panther Pride!

I am excited to serve the students, staff, and parents at Abrams as the assistant principal.

Prior to joining the Abrams family, I worked at Mesa Elementary in FFC8 for 13 years as a classroom teacher and in Widefield District 3 for two years as a classroom teacher and interventionist. These experiences taught me the importance of building relationships with students and the value of working as a team to support the whole student. 

I am a Colorado Springs native and love the beautiful state of Colorado! I completed my undergraduate degree at Colorado Mesa University where I studied Elementary Education and Social Sciences in 2006 and then my master’s degree in Educational Leadership in 2022. During my time teaching, I met my husband and became a step mom to his son, who now serves in the U.S. Navy.

I am passionate about the important role schools play in shaping how children see themselves. I believe what when educators are working together with families and communities, to help out students, all children be successful. I am looking forward to getting to know the students and families at Abrams!

I am honored and excited to join the Abrams Elementary community as the Dean of Students. I have been in education since 2015, and I am grateful for the opportunity to continue serving students, families, and staff in this new role.

Over the years, I have had the privilege of teaching kindergarten, first grade, and fourth grade. I have also served as a literacy coach. Each role has shaped who I am as an educator. They have strengthened my belief that strong relationships, high expectations, and a caring school community help all students succeed.

I am excited to join the Abrams family while continuing to be part of the District 8 community. I look forward to getting to know our students and families. My goal is to help every student feel safe, supported, and proud to be a Panther.

My family and I are so excited to call Colorado our forever home. We are grateful to be part of such a wonderful community. I look forward to an amazing year ahead and all that we will accomplish together.

Go Panthers!
