Joining the koala family has been a dream come true! I am truly grateful for the opportunity to grow with your beautiful community this year as the Assistant Principal of Willie Kocurek Elementary. I joined Austin ISD as a second grade teacher back in 2008 under the leadership of the one and only Heather Parmelee! Since then, I have taught in various bilingual or dual language classrooms in schools throughout Austin and Plano ISD. I have also served as a Curriculum Specialist and Literacy Coach which has awakened my passion to support teaching and learning within a greater school community by working collaboratively with teachers to implement new, research based practices that focuses on both student academics and their social and emotional learning. I look forward to working with the exceptional staff at Kocurek to maximize the potential of each of our students!
