Assistant Director of Admissions
I describe myself as a global citizen, as I was born into a multicultural family and grew up overseas in Grand Cayman, Curaçao and Venezuela.  I attended college and lived in Miami for over 10 years.

As an early childhood educator, I understand the value of a strong educational foundation, rich in experiences that develop the successful habits of life-long learners. My teaching career brought me to the competitive DC metro area for 5 years, where I served as Director of Lower School Admission for a K–12 college prep independent school.  

Upon my return to Florida, I took on the role of Director of Admission for an independent school serving gifted learners in Palm Beach County. In 2016, I joined the North Broward Prep community, where I’ve enjoyed sharing my passion for education and the North Broward Prep story with families. As the proud parent of two Eagles, NBPS is truly an integral part of my family!
