Hello Lauderdale Lakes Middle School Community,
It is with great enthusiasm that I join Lauderdale Lakes Middle School as Assistant Principal, supporting our 6th grade students. I bring 19 years of teaching experience in Broward County, where I have dedicated my career to fostering academic excellence and inspiring young minds.
Throughout my years as an educator, I have been passionate about creating meaningful learning experiences that encourage students to think critically, persevere through challenges, and recognize their full potential. I strongly believe that every student can succeed when provided with the right support, high expectations, and a nurturing environment.
In this new leadership role, I am committed to supporting the principal’s vision, collaborating closely with faculty and staff, and building strong partnerships with families to elevate student achievement. My focus is on ensuring a smooth and engaging transition for our 6th grade students, setting a strong academic and social foundation for their middle school journey.
I look forward to contributing to the continued success of Lauderdale Lakes Middle School and ensuring that every Viking has the opportunity to W.I.N.—Work with Purpose, Inspire Growth, and Never Settle.

I encourage you to remain actively involved in your child’s academic, social, and emotional development. Your engagement plays a vital role in student achievement, and we are stronger when we work together.

My journey in education has taken me from South Korea to Miami and across Broward County. Growing up in this neighborhood brings back a lot of great memories and I already feel at home. These diverse experiences have shaped my belief in the power of inclusive, student-centered learning environments. At Lauderdale Lakes Middle, I will continue the work of building a school where every student feels valued, challenged, and prepared for the future.
