I am SUPER excited to serve as your Associate Principal. My educational belief is that ALL students can learn no matter what with the right support and a growth mindset. School should be a safe place for students to attend each day and they should feel comfortable sharing their needs as they grow as a learner. Students are most successful when teachers and parents/guardians work together to assist with their child’s learning. As the old saying goes…”It takes a village to raise a child!"
Remember…to always do your BEST no matter what! I want you to remember these two phrases that I always like to share with others…
1) “Today is Tomorrow’s Yesterday…SO make it COUNT!”
2) “Nothing is IMPOSSIBLE because the word itself says…I’m Possible.”
I started my educational journey in 2001 as a 4th grade teacher at O.B. Gates Elementary in Chesterfield. For the next 10 years at Gates I taught 4th and 5th grade. I left the elementary level to teach 7th Grade Life Science for three years at Bailey Bridge Middle in CCPS. I returned to the elementary level in 2014 as the Dean of Students at Marguerite Christian Elementary with CCPS. After two years in this capacity I moved on to Chalkley Elementary as their Assistant Principal from 2016-2020 . I then had the pleasure of moving over to Hening Elementary as the Assistant Principal from 2020-2024. I cannot believe I am starting my 24th year with CCPS!
I grew up in Dinwiddie County, VA and graduated from Dinwiddie High School. I attended Richard Bland College for an Associates Degree then moved on to Longwood College where I obtained my Bachelors of Science in Elementary Education (certified to teach grades NK-8). After teaching for a while I decided to go into administration so I received my Masters of Education in Educational Leadership from The University of Virginia (UVA) in 2007. In August of 2021 I began my journey on pursuing my Doctorate of Education (Ed.D) at Virginia Tech (VT) with a planned graduation date of December 2024. I hope to earn the title of Dr. Gill by the end of 2024!
I moved to Chesterfield when I started teaching and have called Chesterfield my home for the last 24 years. When I’m not in the school building or working on my dissertation I love spending time outside with my wife and two children camping. I also love to ride my bike, hunt and fish.
