TMS VISION
TMS will be a place where students and staff feel inspired to learn and develop the skills and mindsets of successful, independent and productive citizens.
Welcome! I am excited to start my third year as the Assistant Principal at Trimpe Middle School. Prior to my administration position, I taught music for 11 years in the Bethalto school district. I have taught 5th grade beginning band, 6th - 8th grade band, 8th grade general music, 6th grade choir and assisted with marching and concert band at Civic Memorial High School. It’s hard to believe I am on year 14 as an educator for BCUSD 8!
I am originally from Waterloo, IL and I graduated from Waterloo High School in 2001. I received my Music Education Degree from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville in 2005. I then went on to pursue my Masters Degree in Educational Leadership and graduated from McKendree University in 2010.
I currently reside in Glen Carbon, IL with my husband Andrew and two children, Charlie (5) and Corbin (4). We love to go camping and spend time with family and friends.
I am truly grateful to work with amazing staff and students. I have met many incredible people who are passionate about kids and education. Positivity is my goal and I try to spread joy throughout the building. One of my favorite quotes that I live by is: “Think positive, be positive, and positive things will happen!"
