Human Resources Director
Originally from Tampa, Florida, my family and I are currently assigned to Peterson Space Force Base, where I live with my husband of 16 years and our two children. We are proud to be part of the RMCA community—both of our children, now ages 14 and 7, have attended the school, with our oldest recently graduating. Their positive experiences, both academically and through extracurricular involvement, have deeply connected our family to the RMCA mission.
I hold both a Bachelor's and a Master's degree in Education from Auburn University and currently work in the field of Human Resources. My background in education, combined with my HR experience, has shaped a deep commitment to supporting people, fostering inclusive and healthy workplace cultures, and building strong connections across teams and communities.
Since relocating to Colorado, my family and I have developed a strong appreciation for the area's beauty and sense of community. We look forward to establishing permanent roots here and beginning the next chapter of our journey together.

Human Resources Administrator
I joined RMCA in 2019 and currently serve as the Human Resources Administrator. Originally from New Orleans, I earned a B.S. in Geology from Texas Christian University and previously taught high school science electives in Texas. After serving as the Registrar at RMCA, I transitioned into human resources, where I found fulfillment in fostering workplace culture and strengthening organizational processes. My SHRM-CP certification has strengthened my capabilities and expertise in human resources. Outside of work, I enjoy hiking, fitness, reading, and traveling.
