Welcome to Clemente! Thank you for visiting my page. 

 

This is my fourth year as Clemente's very proud principal, and I am so proud of the community we have built over the years. 

 

A little about me: 

I was born in raised in Melrose Park (which is right around the corner from school!), and I truly love being in my old neighborhood to visit family, friends, and my favorite restaurants! 

 

This is my 13th year in education, and I wouldn't choose any other profession! Being an educator has been the best part of my life. I love seeing learning happen, I love seeing Clemente scholars running in the doors every morning with smiles on their faces, and working with our amazing staff to make sure Clemente students are provided the best education possible! This job is truly my dream job, and I am so grateful to be a Lion! 

When I am not busy being a school leader, you can find me hanging with my dog, (Bryant, B, Diddy, Bubba, he has so many names!), enjoying live music with friends and loved ones, traveling, or taking long road trips with my partner to sightsee and hike.  

 

Thanks for taking some time to get to know me a little better, and welcome to our community's website!
