Assistant Principal
Welcome Message
Dear Eagles,
It is with great pleasure that I return for my third year as Assistant Principal of Mesa View Middle School. Our school has a proud reputation for academic excellence, rigorous instruction, and a vibrant learning community, and I am honored to continue being part of it.
This year marks my 30th year serving in the Ocean View School District. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of teaching students from kindergarten through eighth grade, including a few years as a 7th- and 8th-grade English Language Arts teacher. These experiences have deepened my understanding of student needs at every level and strengthened my commitment to fostering a safe, supportive, and engaging school environment.
I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Liberal Studies and a Master’s Degree in Education, with an emphasis in teaching reading. As a proud Eagle, I am dedicated to promoting the care, welfare, and safety of all students while supporting a collaborative learning culture for students, staff, and families.
My family of five lives in Huntington Beach, and we love being active members of the local community. We enjoy summer concerts at Central Park, horseback riding at the Huntington Central Park Equestrian Center, and beach days at Dog Beach with our two dogs. Being part of this community is especially meaningful to me, and I truly value the connections that extend beyond the school day. So, don’t be surprised if you see me out and about in the community, and please be sure to say hello!
Being part of the Mesa View family is truly a joy, and I look forward to partnering with you to support student growth, character development, and academic success throughout the year. We are deeply committed to our core values, the 3 R’s: Respectful, Responsible, and Reflective. These guiding principles help shape a positive, supportive, and productive learning environment where all students can thrive.
As we begin the 2026–2027 school year, I look forward to building on the connections we’ve made and celebrating the outstanding programs and opportunities that make Mesa View such a special place. I’m especially excited to see our Dual Language Immersion program continue to grow in its second year. Together, we will make this another wonderful year for our Mesa View Eagles!
