I would like to take this opportunity to share with you how honored I am to be working at Barron Collier High School. I have been in education since 1993, starting my career as a Science Instructor at a high school in New York. My first administrative assignment was an Assistant Principal in February of 1999, working in a building comprised of students in Grades 7-12. I received my first position as a principal in 2003. My educational background includes a Bachelor of Science Degree in Biology, Master of Science Degree in Foundations and Teaching, and Master of Science Degree in School Administration as well as a Doctorate in School Leadership. My educational philosophy is quite simple…ALL decisions made are based on what is best for the students. One of the driving forces that support my philosophy comes from a famous quote by Theodore Roosevelt- “Nobody cares how much you know, until they know how much you care.” I look forward to working with you and your child in my role at Barron Collier.

A huge congratulations to National Merit Semifinalists, Nora Atkins, Akshaye Dadlani, Anna Hintz, Madison Knoth, Yogesh Seenichamy, and Tongta Vachara!
