I am so excited to begin my third year as a Pirate! This year, Mrs. Aviles and I are sharing the responsibility of leading the Middle School and High School. In addition, I am serving as the technology director for Black River Local Schools. I am looking forward to the year ahead and the chance to learn more about our students and community.

I have been in education for many years and have taught students aged preschool through college graduate students. I have taught Music, Math, Social Studies. ELA and Technology. Prior to coming to Black River, I was a Technology Administrator in nearby Buckeye Local Schools.

The best part of my day is when a student grows - mastering a new standard, developing a new skill, making a new friend, learning to handle difficult tasks and situations, or getting through a rough day with a positive attitude. Teaching our students to be resilient, problem solvers who treat other people with kindness will help them be successful in whatever life path they may choose. I am looking forward to supporting our students and staff to help them achieve their goals!
