School Principal

I am truly honored to serve as the Principal for Hammond Eastside Magnet Lower. Everyday, I look forward to the opportunity to lead our school filled with amazing students and an extremely dedicated staff. 

I have 24 years of being an educator in Tangipahoa Parish School System. I have had the chance to teach, supervise student teachers, work as an administrator assistant, curriculum facilitator & assistant principal. As principal at HEML, I will bring all these experiences with me when partnering with our teachers, faculty, parents and families. I believe that all students can achieve their goals through hard work and perseverance. Together we will be able to ensure the success of all students at our school. 

I welcome everyone to another exciting year of learning at Hammond Eastside Magnet Lower. Thank you for your involvement, support, and cooperation. I believe when we work together, we ensure your child is getting the most of their elementary education experience here at HEML.
