Meet the Principal
Tangent Families,
It is an honor to join this amazing community of educators, and I’m truly looking forward to the year ahead.
A bit about me—I'm a Lebanon native, and my family and I have called Albany home for nearly 20 years. My husband Josh and I have been married for 22 years, and we have two girls in GAPS and a son who recently graduated and will be attending Oregon State. I have had the privilege of serving in our district as a substitute, a reading teacher, a 2nd-grade teacher, an instructional coach, an assistant principal, and, most recently, as principal of Oak. This will be my 20th year in education, and I couldn’t be more thrilled to be here to serve alongside you at Tangent.
