It's definitely bittersweet to see you retire.  I was blessed with the opportunity to work with you thanks to the DA work.  In the short time that I've seen you in action, you have been an inspiration in my life.  Your professionalism, knowledge, and ability to move and improve systems is simply amazing.  We will miss your expertise, your kind heart, and most importantly, your support and guidance.  The ICOE continuous improvement work has moved forward thanks to you and your team.  Your leadership was the driving force behind the scenes. I  will forever be grateful.

I wish you the very best.....enjoy, have fun, and always count your blessings. :)

I wish you the best that retirement has to offer!

Inaddition to what Dianne Cox mentioned regarding Excellence, your shared family stories were humorous and held an authenticity that "make folk" connect with you instantly.  Your "realness" in this space was much needed.  Thank you!

Meeting you as the incoming Principal of Arlanza in the early 2000s…I had just come back from maternity leave after having Madison and you were touring the campus. I remember you were wearing a dark green sweater (you pointed out the hole in it!) and were pregnant with Hailey. That was the beginning of a professional relationship and a friendship that I cherish very much. I will miss you. Wishing you many blessings as you retire. Much love to you!
