Principal
Dear Creekside families,
I would like to take a moment to introduce myself. I am the new principal of Creekside Elementary. This is my 19th year in education. I have been a teacher, an instructional coach, a data coach, an assistant principal and a principal. I have a Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education from Western Michigan University, a Master's degree in Elementary Education: Curriculum and Instruction, and an Educational Specialist degree from Oakland Schools in K-12 Administration. This is my first year in Hartland and I am excited to get to work with my staff, students, and families to continue the wonderful educational experience that is well known in the Creekside community.
I have been married to my husband, Jarrod, for just a few short years. We currently have two dogs: a very large Akita and a small Chihuahua. We also have a hedgehog, named Leroy. I enjoy spending time with my family and friends playing board games, walking/running (participating in 5ks), traveling, boating, and snow skiing.
I am committed to providing a nurturing and stimulating environment where every child can thrive. I have a dedicated and passionate team of educators that work diligently to create engaging and challenging learning experiences. We strive to foster a love of learning and empower our students to read their fullest potential. We recognize the role that parents and guardians play in their child's education, and we value the strong partnership between home and school. Your involvement and support are essential to your child's success. Open communication is key, and we are here to support you and your child throughout their educational journey.
