Welcome to New London Academy!
I am thrilled to begin another school year with the New London Academy family and community. Our school is rich in tradition, and we take great pride in our history of high achievement. Together, we will continue striving for excellence in everything we do.
Allow me to introduce myself. I grew up in Ohio and pursued my education at Juniata College in Pennsylvania, where I earned dual bachelor’s degrees in Psychology and Communication & Conflict Resolution. After graduation, I moved to Virginia, where I taught Special Education while coaching soccer and volleyball in Louisa County. During this time, I obtained my Professional Certification in Special Education from VCU and completed my Master’s in Administration and Supervision at Liberty University. Most recently, I earned my Doctorate in Educational Leadership from Liberty.
After teaching, I transitioned into administration, spending two years with Roanoke City Public Schools. This is my seventh year at NLA, and I consider myself truly fortunate to work with such outstanding students, staff, parents, and community members.
If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
