Principal's Message

 

Welcome to Olive Elementary School, Home of the Ocelots! I am thrilled to be joining this 

amazing staff and community as the Principal! I cannot wait to meet all the students, staff, families and community members as the year comes to a start.

I am a born and bred Orange County resident and a graduate of California State University, Fullerton, with a Bachelor’s of Science Degree in Biology. I earned my Multiple Subject Teaching Credential and Master’s Degree in Cross-cultural Teaching from National University. I spent two years teaching 8th grade and ten years teaching 6th grade, with most of that being in the math and science classes. I came to Orange Unified School District in 2011 and have been an administrator at various school sites in that time. I am excited to begin working with our fantastic staff and our supportive community here at Olive Elementary!

My goal is to be available to our students, staff and families and to work together to provide a safe, engaging, learning environment where kids are excited to be at school and they participate in activities that challenge them to grow as learners. I encourage any and all ideas that support kids in their learning process. I am here to serve this community and I look forward to meeting and working with you all.

Please do not hesitate to contact us at Olive if we can help in any way. Welcome to the 2025-2026 school year, Ocelots!
