Leadership
Welcome to Chaska Middle School West—home to a caring, committed, and courageous community of learners. I am honored to return to West in a new role, having previously served the West community as a special education teacher. I have also had the distinct privilege of serving as a district intervention coach, special education coordinator, softball coach, administrative dean, and, most recently, as the assistant principal at Chanhassen High School. These experiences have shaped my belief in the power of these words: Be Kind. Do Good. Persevere. These words guide the way we support students, collaborate as a staff, and partner with families.
At West, we believe every student deserves to feel known, supported, and challenged. Each day, our dedicated staff works to create meaningful learning experiences that foster academic growth, social-emotional development, and a strong sense of belonging. We build a culture where kindness strengthens relationships, doing good uplifts our community, and perseverance helps students face challenges with confidence and resilience.
I am grateful for the opportunity to serve as the principal of Chaska Middle School West and to have a front-row seat to all the great things happening here. Thank you for your partnership and for trusting us with your child’s middle school journey.
Be Kind. Do Good. Persevere.
