I am honored to introduce myself as the new Principal of Manor Middle School. It is with great enthusiasm that I join this vibrant community, and I am eager to begin our journey together towards continued excellence.

To share a bit about my background, I have spent the past 15 years serving as an elementary school principal in the Penn Manor School District —12.5 years as the Principal of Pequea Elementary School and 2.5 years as the Principal of LeTort Elementary School. These experiences have provided me with a deep understanding of the importance of fostering a supportive and engaging learning environment for students, staff, and families alike.

My career in education began with a strong focus on special education. I taught Emotional Support classes for the IU13 and then served as a special education consultant in the School District of Lancaster, where I also taught alternative education. These roles allowed me to develop a passion for inclusive education and meeting the diverse needs of all students. My journey into school administration started as an assistant high school principal at Manheim Central, which eventually led me to join the Penn Manor School District.

On a personal note, my family and I reside in Millersville. I am the proud parent of two boys, one in 7th grade and the other in 10th grade. Our family is deeply rooted in this community, and we are committed to its success.

I am truly excited to join the Manor Middle School community. My goal is to build on the strong foundation that already exists here and to work collaboratively with students, staff, and parents to create an environment where everyone can thrive. I am a firm believer in the power of teamwork, open communication, and continuous improvement. Together, we can ensure that Manor Middle School remains a place where every student feels valued, supported, and inspired to achieve their full potential.

I look forward to meeting each of you and getting to know the wonderful students and families that make up our school community. Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions, ideas, or concerns. My door is always open, and I am here to support you in any way I can.

Thank you for welcoming me into the Manor Middle School community. Let us embrace this new chapter with enthusiasm and a shared commitment to excellence

I am very excited to join Manor Middle School as the new Assistant Principal. This will be my nineteenth year in the Penn Manor School District. At Eshleman Elementary School, I taught first grade for eight years and second grade for nine and a half years. I spent half a year at Hambright Elementary School in the role of Interim Dean of Students.

I graduated from Millersville University in December of 2000 with an Elementary Education and Early Childhood Degree. In May of 2009 I completed a masters degree in Language and Literacy with a concentration in English as a Second Language.  I am currently enrolled in a doctorate program in Educational Leadership at Immaculata University.

I am originally from Nicaragua but have been living in Millersville since 1997 when I moved to the U.S. to attend Millersville University. My husband, Gene, and I reside in Millersville and have two children, Alex 22 and Matthew 12.

I am very happy for the opportunity to work at Manor Middle School and can’t wait to get to know each student and family. I love the Penn Manor Community and know that together we can do great things.

Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or need assistance with anything. I look forward to meeting you soon.
