I am excited about coming out of the classroom and joining the Administrative Team at Hickman. For the past 7 years, I have had the pleasure of molding the SSKIP program in our Special Education Department. The Dean of Students Position will allow me to work with all students and parents that come through our doors. I am eager to help create better outcomes for students, staff, Hickman and CPS. I am continuing my aspirations to one day become a principal. I am ready to hit the ground running.
