I have been the principal at Patterson Elementary since 2024.  Before joining Patterson, I was the principal at Towne Meadows Elementary for 12 years, assistant principal at Greenfield Junior High and a Dean of Students at South Valley Junior High and Mesquite High School, and a sixth-grade teacher in GPS before becoming an administrator.  

I am also a former Patterson Panther student! Here at Patterson, we expect our students to learn by doing. Critical thinking, perseverance, and a growth mindset will set our students up for a brighter future. You can expect your student to be actively engaged in their learning and a part of the process in the mastery of concepts. This is accomplished by cultivating positive relationships with ALL students and ensuring support for the whole child, including social/emotional well-being.  We pride ourselves on not only advocating for your child but also inviting you onto our campus to be a part of the learning. Together, we can offer a wonderful, world-class education for EVERY student who walks through the door.
