Hilton High School ‘92,

As a proud 1992 graduate of the Hilton Central School District, I have always carried with me a deep appreciation for the education, values, and sense of community that Hilton instilled in me. My career in education began in the very halls where my own journey started—Village Elementary School—where I served first as a teaching assistant, then as a special education teacher and elementary educator. Driven by a passion for instructional leadership, I pursued certifications as both a School Building Leader and School District Leader.

Over the years, I’ve held various leadership positions across Monroe County, including Assistant Principal and Principal at Monroe One BOCES, Principal in the East Irondequoit Central School District, and currently, Assistant Superintendent for Instructional Programs at Monroe One BOCES. These roles have allowed me to develop deep experience in organizational leadership, community engagement, program development, and strategic planning.

Hilton is more than just my hometown—it is the foundation of my family and career. My husband and I are both Hilton graduates, and all four of our daughters have proudly graduated from Hilton as well. My mother, a dedicated Hilton educator for over 32 years, modeled the spirit of service and lifelong learning that continues to guide me today.

As a board member of the Hilton Alumni Association, I would bring a collaborative leadership style, strong communication skills, and a strategic mindset shaped by years of educational and administrative experience. I am highly organized, mission-driven, and committed to inclusivity—skills essential for engaging alumni, building meaningful connections, and supporting outreach initiatives that reflect the values of Hilton. I understand the importance of honoring the district’s legacy while also fostering a vision that supports future alumni.
