PRINCIPAL/ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL

Hello Amazing JTPS Families!

I am the proud principal of John Trumbull Primary School! I remember my first time walking through the halls of this beautiful building over 20 years ago and thinking I need  to work here.  At the time I was being given a tour as a parent of an incoming preschooler. I was in awe as I looked around. I was working in another district and the schools did not look anything like JTPS. Then 4 years later my dream came true when I was hired as the Assistant Principal here.  I worked as the assistant principal for 10 years and then 6  years ago, I was fortunate to be chosen as the new principal.  

I feel blessed to work in this building with the MOST AMAZING staff.  Each and every person in this building believes that all children can learn and that it is our job to be supportive, loving and kind while teaching!

I am a very lucky mother as well! I have 3 amazing children.  My older 2 graduated from Watertown High School and my youngest is at Swift Middle School.

I look forward to our work together!  Thank you for sharing your beautiful children with me.
